The Plasmasphere Boundary Layer [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2004
As an inner magnetospheric phenomenon the plasmapause region is of interest for a number of reasons, one being the occurrence there of geophysically important interactions between the plasmas of the hot plasma sheet and of the cool plasmasphere. There

Combined model of topside ionosphere and plasmasphere derived from radio-occultation and Van Allen Probes data [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
In the last years, electron density profile functions characterized by a linear dependence on the scale height showed good results when approximating the topside ionosphere. The performance above 800 km, however, is not yet well investigated.

The effect of disturbed-time electric fields on the inner plasmasphere [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1994
Results from a mathematical model provide a description of the mid-latitude, low L-shell ionosphere and plasmasphere. Variations in the composition and dynamics of the plasmasphere and changes in the nature of the coupling between the plasmasphere and

Interhemispheric ionosphere-plasmasphere system shows a high sensitivity to the exospheric neutral hydrogen density: a caution of the global reference atmospheric model hydrogen density

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
This study explores the impact of the exosphere hydrogen (H) density on the ionosphere-plasmasphere system using a model whose key inputs are constrained by ionosphere observations at both ends of the magnetic field line with an L-value of 1.75 in the ...

Recirculation of plasmasphere material during idealized magnetic storms

Frontiers in Physics, 2023
The fate of flux tube material once it is eroded from of the plasmasphere through a dayside plume remains unknown. The eroded plasmasphere material can be either swept away by the solar wind and lost from Earth’s system, or recirculated into the inner ...

Determining Plasmaspheric Densities from Observations of Plasmaspheric Hiss [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2018
AbstractA new method of inferring electron plasma densities inside of the plasmasphere is presented. Utilizing observations of the electric and magnetic field wave power associated with plasmaspheric hiss, coupled with the cold plasma dispersion relation, permits calculation of the plasma density.

Density structures inside the plasmasphere: Cluster observations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2004
The electron density profiles derived from the EFW and WHISPER instruments on board the four Cluster spacecraft reveal density structures inside the plasmasphere and at its outer boundary, the plasmapause.

Van Allen Probes observation of plasmaspheric hiss modulated by injected energetic electrons [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2018
Plasmaspheric hiss was observed by Van Allen Probe B in association with energetic electron injections in the outer plasmasphere. The energy of injected electrons coincides with the minimum resonant energy calculated for the observed hiss wave ...
