Current sheet measurements within a flapping plasma sheet
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1998Slow plasma flows perpendicular to the magnetotail neutral sheet and associated with flapping motions of the plasma sheet can occasionally exceed the sensitivity threshold of plasma instruments. This is the case in several events selected from 3 months of magnetotail observations by the three‐dimensional plasma instrument on the AMPTE/IRM satellite. By

The first simultaneous study of dc and ac electric and magnetic fields, E × B velocity, plasma flows, β, total energy density, energetic particles, and ion composition from the ISEE satellites and ground and interplanetary magnetic fields has been made to determine (1) the relationship of the previously observed electric fields at the plasma sheet ...

Adiabatic plasma convection in the tail plasma sheet
Planetary and Space Science, 1978We investigate the transport process of electrons in the tail plasma sheet by convection electric fields, under the assumption of conservation of the first two adiabatic invariants. The variation of the electron distribution function, and hence the bulk parameters with distance from the Earth are calculated.

On Jovian plasma sheet structure
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1989We evaluate several models of Jovian plasma sheet structure by determining how well they organize several aspects of the observed Voyager 2 magnetic field characteristics as a function of Jovicentric radial distance. The present study focuses exclusively on the data from the Voyager 2 spacecraft because the magnetosphere was more stable during that ...

How does the plasma sheet respond to the complex pattern of waves coming over the poles from bursty magnetopause reconnection events, or to the vortices and other irregular perturbations coming around the flanks of the magnetosphere in the low-latitude boundary layer?

Stratified Current Sheet During Plasma Sheet Thinning
2005Abstract The current sheet structure during the plasma sheet compression is studied for a one-dimensional Harris-type current sheet. We find that a stratified structure embedded in a thick plasma sheet is formed by taking into account the non-MHD effect.

Electrostatic drift waves driven by a Gaussian density profile in a sheet plasma of thickness of the order of the ion Larmor radius ρ i have been studied numerically. The frequency range considered is less than the ion cyclotron frequency ω c i . The method is based on an integral equation in wavenumber space derived from the Vlasov-Poisson system of ...

Variability of plasma sheet dynamics
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1980From 1200 UT on October 27 to 1200 UT on October 28, 1972, Imp 7 moved across the tail plasma sheet at 35 RE and remained within 2 RE of the expected position at the neutral sheet. During this 24‐hour interval, at least five substorms occurred on the ground.

Average plasma properties in the central plasma sheet
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1989Using four months of tail data obtained by the three‐dimensional plasma instrument on board the AMPTE/IRM satellite in 1986, we have done a statistical survey on the behavior of ion and electron moments in the central plasma sheet. Almost 80,000 spin averages of plasma density, ion bulk velocity, ion and electron temperature, and plasma β were analyzed

The plasma sheet boundary layer
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1984The plasma sheet boundary layer is a temporally variable transition region located between the magnetotail lobes and the central plasma sheet. We have made a survey of these regions by using particle spectra and three‐dimensional velocity‐space distributions sampled by the ISEE 1 LEPEDEA.
