Auroral streamers implication for the substorm progression on September 14, 2004
Frey, H. U.; Kubyshkina, M. V.; Fu, S. Y. +9 more
Magnetospheric substorms manifest a fundamental disturbance in geospace. Understanding of substorm progression is essential for solar terrestrial physics and space weather research. The auroral streamer and the bursty bulk flows (BBFs) were simultaneously observed by the IMAGE/WIC and the Cluster in the midtail (X∼-16RE), whose footprin…
Wave mechanism of the magnetospheric convection
Leonovich, A. S.
The problem of momentum transfer from the solar wind to the geotail via magnetosonic waves has been solved. The structure of the wave field of monochromatic MHD oscillations is calculated in a cylindrical model of the geotail with a background plasma distribution typical of the geotail lobes. Fast magnetosonic waves entering the magnetosphere from…
