Observations of Closed Magnetic Flux Embedded in the Lobes During Periods of Northward IMF
Fear, R. C.; Coxon, J. C.; Fryer, L. J. +1 more
The high latitude, lobe regions of the magnetosphere are often assumed to contain cool, low energy plasma populations. However, during periods of northward Interplanetary Magnetic Field, energetic plasma populations have occasionally been observed. We present three cases when Cluster observed uncharacteristically "hot" plasma populations in the lo…
Turning Instrument Background Into Science Data for Structural Features of Radiation Belts
Dandouras, I.; Rème, H.; Liemohn, M. W. +2 more
Approaches regarding how to turn the instrument background counts into scientifically valuable data are presented in this Technical Report on Methods. The background counts due to penetrating energetic particles of radiation belts detected on Cluster CIS HIA and CODIF instruments and the Double Star HIA instrument are used in these approaches. In …
