Cluster spacecraft observations of a ULF wave enhanced by Space Plasma Exploration by Active Radar (SPEAR) [PDF]

, 2009
Space Plasma Exploration by Active Radar (SPEAR) is a high-latitude ionospheric heating facility capable of exciting ULF waves on local magnetic field lines. We examine an interval from 1 February 2006 when SPEAR was transmitting a 1 Hz modulation signal

Spacecraft potential control aboard Equator-S as a test for Cluster-II [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1999
The payload of Equator-S was complemented by the potential control device (PCD) to stabilise the electric potential of the spacecraft with respect to the ambient plasma. Low potentials are essential for accurate measurements of the thermal plasma. The

Whistlers observed by the Cluster spacecraft outside the plasmasphere [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2005
Lightning generated whistlers are ubiquitous within the plasmasphere at both high and low altitudes, and these waves propagate efficiently in both ducted and nonducted modes. On the other hand, in the magnetospheric region outside the plasmasphere, lightning‐generated whistlers are commonly observed at low altitudes (up to ∼6000 km) but only rarely at ...

Cluster observations of a complex high-altitude cusp passage during highly variable IMF [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2004
On 26 February 2001, the Cluster spacecraft were outbound over the Northern Hemisphere, at approximately 12:00 MLT, approaching the magnetosheath through the high-altitude (and exterior) cusp region.
