An auroral westward flow channel (AWFC) and its relationship to field-aligned current, ring current, and plasmapause location determined using multiple spacecraft observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 An auroral westward flow channel (AWFC) is a latitudinally narrow channel of unstable F-region plasma with intense westward drift in the dusk-to-midnight sector ionosphere. AWFCs tend to overlap the equatorward edge of the auroral oval, and their life

Magnetospheric processes in the plasmapause
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984 The current experimental and theoretical status on the existence and importance of the plasmapause as a magnetospheric boundary was the subject of a conference on Fundamental Magnetospheric Processes in the Plasmapause Region, held at Huntsville, Ala., October 25–27, 1983, under the joint sponsorship of the Marshall Space Flight Center and the ...

Modulation of NTC frequencies by Pc5 ULF pulsations : experimental test of the generation mechanism and magnetoseismology of the emitting surface [PDF]
, 2009 Nonthermal continuum (NTC) radiation is believed to be emitted by the conversion of an electrostatic wave into an electromagnetic one, which takes place at the Earth's magnetic equator.

A machine-learning-based electron density (MLED) model in the inner magnetosphere
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022 Plasma density is an important factor in determining wave-particle interactions in the magnetosphere. We develop a machine-learning-based electron density (MLED) model in the inner magnetosphere using electron density data from Van Allen Probes between ...

A Comparison of the Location of the Mid‐Latitude Trough and Plasmapause Boundary
, 2021 : We have compared the location of the mid‐latitude trough observed in two dimensional vertical total electron content (vTEC) maps with four plasmapause boundary models, Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) observations, and IMAGE extreme ultraviolet (EUV)

The Evolution of Whistler Hiss‐Like Waves Across Plasmapause: Hiss to Exohiss
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The exohiss waves are hiss‐like whistler mode waves that occur outside plasmapause. Although these waves can cause the loss of radiation belt electrons ∼
