Counterstreaming Beams and Flat-Top Electron Distributions Observed with Langmuir, Whistler, and Compressional Alfvén Waves in Earth's Magnetic Tail
Parks, George K.; Teste, Alexandra
Relevant new clues to wave-particle interactions have been obtained in Earth’s plasma sheet (PS). The plasma measurements made on Cluster spacecraft show that broadband (∼2-6kHz) electrostatic emissions, in the PS boundary layer, are associated with cold counterstreaming electrons flowing at 5-12×103kms-1 through hot Maxwelli…
Generalized Similarity in Finite Range Solar Wind Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Chapman, S. C.; Nicol, R. M.
Extended or generalized similarity is a ubiquitous but not well understood feature of turbulence that is realized over a finite range of scales. The ULYSSES spacecraft solar polar passes at solar minimum provide in situ observations of evolving anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the solar wind under ideal conditions of fast quiet flow. …
