Association of consecutive Pi2-Ps6 band pulsations with earthward fast flows in the plasma sheet in response to IMF variations

Baumjohann, Wolfgang; Cheng, Ching-Chang; Mann, Ian R.

On 11 March 2009, the H component had four consecutive bay-like variations accompanied by positive and negative deflections in the D component across the Atlantic like those affected by the substorm current wedge formation. A train of pulsations with a frequency range 2-10 mHz (referred to as Pi2-Ps6 band), sensed by Time History of Events and Mac…

Saturn chorus latitudinal variations

Gurnett, D. A.; Hospodarsky, G. B.; Menietti, J. D. +1 more

The variation of propagation properties of whistler mode chorus as a function of latitude is not well known at Saturn but is important for the calculation of pitch angle diffusion and nonlinear growth of chorus. The Cassini spacecraft has spent a portion of its orbital time in high-inclination orbits, allowing traversal of the magnetic equator at …

Nonlinear interaction of 3D kinetic Alfvén wave and whistler wave in solar wind plasmas

Sharma, R. P.; Gaur, Nidhi

In the present work, the nonlinear evolution of 3D kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) has been investigated in solar wind plasmas. By taking the adiabatic response of background density the nonlinearity arises because of ponderomotive effects. The dynamical equations governing the dynamics of 3D KAW and whistler are obtained. We have performed the numerica…
