Identification of electron field‐aligned current systems in Saturn's magnetosphere [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2012
Based on the analysis of 7 years of Cassini electron plasma spectrometer data near Saturn's equatorial plane, we computed the average directional electron current in the Northern and the Southern hemispheres separately. We determined the net current density by subtracting the downward electron current density (equator to the ionosphere) from the upward

Organization of the magnetosphere during substorms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The change in degree of organization of the magnetosphere during substorms is investigated by analyzing various geomagnetic indices, as well as interplanetary magnetic field z-component and solar wind flow speed.

Linear Versus Nonlinear Methods for Detecting Magnetospheric and Ionospheric Current Systems Patterns

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2020
There is a growing interest in the development of models and methods of analysis aimed to recognize in the geomagnetic field signals the different contributions coming from the various sources both internal and external to the Earth.

Modeling of ion dynamics in the inner geospace during enhanced magnetospheric activity [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2016
We investigate the effect of magnetic disturbances on the ring current buildup and the dynamics of the current systems in the inner geospace by means of numerical simulations of ion orbits during enhanced magnetospheric activity.

Testing the SOC hypothesis for the magnetosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
As noted by Chang, the hypothesis of Self-Organised Criticality provides a theoretical framework in which the low dimensionality seen in magnetospheric indices can be combined with the scaling seen in their power spectra and the recently-observed plasma ...

Morphology of the ring current derived from magnetic field observations [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2004
Our examination of the 20 years of magnetospheric magnetic field data from ISEE, AMPTE/CCE and Polar missions has allowed us to quantify how the ring current flows and closes in the magnetosphere at a variety of disturbance levels.

Storm time field-aligned currents and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling process

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评, 2022
Field aligned currents (FACs), also known as Birkland current, are flowing along the magnetic field line between the ionosphere and magnetosphere. They play an essential role in transferring mass, energy, and momentum from the magnetosphere to the ...

Revised time-of-flight calculations for high-latitude geomagnetic pulsations using a realistic magnetospheric magnetic field model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present a simple time-of-flight analysis of Alfvén pulsations standing on closed terrestrial magnetic field lines. The technique employed in this study in order to calculate the characteristic period of such oscillations builds upon earlier time-of ...

Experimental study of the formation of inverted-V structures and their stratification using AUREOL-3 observations [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2000
Multiple inverted-V structures are commonly observed on the same auroral zone crossing by a low-altitude orbiting satellite. Such structures appear grouped and apparently result from an ionospheric and/or magnetospheric mechanism of stratification ...

The local dayside reconnection rate for oblique interplanetary magnetic fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present an analysis of local properties of magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause for various interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientations in global magnetospheric simulations.
