The average magnetic field draping and consistent plasma properties of the Venus magnetotail [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
A new technique has been developed to determine the average structure of the Venus magnetotail (in the range from −8 Rv to −12 Rv) from the Pioneer Venus magnetometer observations.

The storm time central plasma sheet [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2002
The plasma sheet plays a key role during magnetic storms because it is the bottleneck through which large amounts of magnetic flux that have been eroded from the dayside magnetopause have to be returned to the dayside magnetosphere.

Dawn‐Dusk Asymmetry of Plasma Flow in Jupiter's Middle Magnetosphere Observed by Juno

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Based on plasma observations from Juno's Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment instrument and forward modeling, we investigate the dawn‐dusk asymmetries within Jupiter's magnetosphere between 10 and 40 RJ.

New aspects of plasma sheet dynamics - MHD and kinetic theory [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 1999
Magnetic reconnection is a process of fundamental importance for the dynamics of the Earth's plasma sheet. In this context, the development of thin current sheets in the near-Earth plasma sheet is a topic of special interest because they could be a ...

Two-Dimensional Structure of Flow Channels and Associated Upward Field-Aligned Currents: Model and Observations

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Flow bursts are a major component of transport within the plasma sheet and auroral oval (where they are referred to as flow channels), and lead to a variety of geomagnetic disturbances as they approach the inner plasma sheet (equatorward portion of the ...

Exploring Outer Radiation Belt Losses From the International Space Station

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The precipitation of energetic electrons from the outer radiation belt plays a crucial role in regulating their flux dynamics and influencing ionospheric properties.

Solar-wind control of plasma sheet dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2015
The purpose of this study is to quantify how solar-wind conditions affect the energy and plasma transport in the geomagnetic tail and its large-scale configuration. To identify the role of various effects, the magnetospheric data were sorted according

Contribution of patchy reconnection to the ion-to-electron temperature ratio in the Earth's magnetotail

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2019
The ion-to-electron temperature ratio is a good indicator of the processes involved in the plasma sheet. Observations have suggested that patchy reconnection and the resulting earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs) transport may be involved in causing the ...

A statistical study on the correlations between plasma sheet and solar wind based on DSP explorations [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2005
By using the data of two spacecraft, TC-1 and ACE (Advanced Composition Explorer), a statistical study on the correlations between plasma sheet and solar wind has been carried out.

Magnetospheric plasma pressures in the midnight meridian: Observations from 2.5 to 35 RE [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Plasma pressure data from the ISEE 2 fast plasma experiment (FPE) were statistically analyzed to determine the plasma sheet pressure versus distance in the midnight local time sector of the near-earth (12–35 RE) magnetotail plasma sheet.
