Solar wind transport into magnetosphere caused by magnetic reconnection at high latitude magnetopause during northward IMF: Cluster-DSP conjunction observations
Lucek, E.; Reme, H.; Dunlop, M. +5 more
An event of Cluster-Double Star conjunction observations of magnetic reconnection at high latitude magnetopause nightside of both cusps and solar wind transport into magnetosphere caused by such reconnection process has been investigated. During northward IMF, Cluster/SC1 observed accelerated flows and ion heating associated with magnetic reconnec…
Near-Earth bursty bulk flows and AE index
Dunlop, M. W.; Baumjohann, W.; Carr, C. +5 more
With the 4-s resolution data of the magnetometer and the ion plasma analyzer on TC-1 from June to November of each year during the period of 2004-2006, we statistically analyzed the occurrence rate of both convective and field-aligned bursty flows (FABFs). A near-Earth bursty bulk flow (NEBBF) occurred during both the quiet time and substorm proce…
Surveys on magnetospheric plasmas based on the Double Star Project (DSP) exploration
Escoubet, C. P.; Dandouras, I.; Reme, H. +11 more
The equatorial and polar satellites of the Double Star Project (DSP) were launched successfully on December 29, 2003 and July 25, 2004, respectively, and both of them are operating smoothly. The DSP provides a good opportunity for investigating the structure of the magnetosphere. Based on the DSP data collected during 2004, we have surveyed the di…
New progress of Double Star-Cluster joint exploration and study
Shen, Chao; Cao, JinBin; Lu, Li +3 more
The magnetic reconnection of magnetosphere and the magnetospheric space storms (including magnetospheric substorm, magnetic storm, magnetospheric particle storm) has long been one of the most challenging subjects in the solar-terrestrial physics. The reconnection mechanism and global triggering process of the magnetospheric space storms are still …
