Pre‐Existing Plasmaspheric Density Structure
Geophysical Research LettersWe perform a basic model experiment: we run two nearly identical plasmapause simulations, differing only by their initial conditions. The first run contains initial fine‐scale and mesoscale structure, and the second run is initialized with a featureless,

A new perspective and explanation for the formation of plasmaspheric shoulder structures [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 Over the hours of 05:00–09:00 UT on 8 June 2001, the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) instrument on board the IMAGE satellite observed a shoulder-like formation in the morning sector and a post-noon plume-like structure.

Ionospheric and magnetospheric “plasmapauses” [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 1978 Abstract During August 1972, Explorer 45 orbiting near the equatorial plane with an apogee of ∼5.2 R e traversed magnetic field lines in close proximity to those simultaneously traversed by the topside ionospheric satellite ISIS 2 near dusk in the L range 2.0–5.4.

Plasmapause formation at Saturn [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2015 AbstractCassini observations during a rapid, high‐latitude, dawnside pass from Saturn's lobe to inner magnetosphere on 25 June 2009 provide strong evidence for the formation of a “plasmapause” at Saturn by Vasyliunas‐type nightside reconnection of previously mass‐loaded flux tubes.

Whistler propagation in the plasmapause [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2013 Variations in plasma density and magnetic field have a strong effect on the propagation of very low frequency waves in the whistler mode. Numerous studies have established that field‐aligned density irregularities (sometimes called ducts) symmetrical relative their axis can effectively guide whistlers along the ambient magnetic field. In this paper, we

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2014 The plasmapause is a highly dynamic boundary between different magnetospheric particle populations and convection regimes. Some of the most important space weather processes involve wave-particle interactions in this region, but wave properties may also ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 We deduce the electron plasma density from the NASA Van Allen Probes Electric Field and Waves and Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science measurements and extract the plasmasphere boundaries throughout 2012–2019.

Plasmapause surface wave oscillates the magnetosphere and diffuse aurora
Nature Communications, 2020 Theoretical studies suggested that plasmapause surface waves related to the sharp inhomogeneity exist and act as a source of geomagnetic pulsations.

Proposal for an ionosphere/plasmasphere monitoring system [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1994 A space-based satellite system suited for long-term monitoring of the Earth's ionosphere/plasmasphere systems is proposed. The monitoring system consists of a network of radio beacon satellites capable of measuring the ionospheric and plasmaspheric ...

The distribution of plasmaspheric hiss wave power with respect to plasmapause location
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 In this work, Van Allen Probes data are used to derive terrestrial plasmaspheric hiss wave power distributions organized by (1) distance away from the plasmapause and (2) plasmapause distance from Earth.
