Abstract We report a rare quiet‐time observation by NOAA‐18 spacecraft flying nearly along the electron isotropy boundary (IBe). Complemented by data from four nearby meridional IBe crossings of other POES spacecraft, this case study provides a novel quantitative information concerning the regular energy dependence of the loss‐cone filling ratio (Jprec/

Cluster magnetotail observations of a tailward-travelling plasmoid at substorm expansion phase onset and field aligned currents in the plasma sheet boundary layer [PDF]
We present data from both ground- and space- based instruments for a substorm event which occurred on 5 October 2002, with an expansion phase onset time of 02:50 UT determined from the ground magnetometer data.

Substorms: Future of magnetospheric substorm—Storm research
We have made good progress in revealing and understanding the great complexity of magnetospheric substorm phenomena and processes during the last two decades. In spite of such advance, however, there are several areas in which a serious attempt for new advance is required. Seven areas are identified for discussion. I would like to encourage the younger

Earthward Propagated Auroral Kilometric Radiation: Observations From Polar
Abstract Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR), the strongest natural radio emission from Earth's magnetosphere, has been primarily observed in space. It is generally understood to propagate anti‐Earthward and be detected at large radial distances, while Earthward‐directed waves are thought to be blocked by the ionosphere. Surprisingly, AKR‐like emissions

Flux transport and tail dynamics during a prolonged substorm interval [PDF]
We present multi-point observations of a substorm which took place on 29 August 2004. The near-Earth magnetotail dynamics were observed by Cluster C1 and Double Star TC1, in conjunction with observations of the Northern Hemisphere ionospheric convection ...

Study of auroral forms and electron precipitation with the IRIS, DASI and EISCAT systems [PDF]
International audienceSimultaneous observations with the IRIS, DASI and EISCAT systems are employed in the study of the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of auroral forms and precipitation regions during substorm activity.

A Novel Magnetosphere–Ionosphere Coupling Model for the Onset of Substrom Expansion Phase
A novel magnetosphere–ionosphere (M-I) coupling model is proposed to simulate the brightening of the onset auroral arc of a magnetospheric substorm event.

First Observation of the Second Harmonic of Upper Band Chorus Waves Linking to Slow Z‐Mode
Abstract The Z‐mode, comprising fast and slow branches, is a ubiquitous electromagnetic wave in planetary magnetospheres. While fast Z‐mode generation is attributed to electron cyclotron maser instability, the slow Z‐mode mechanism remains unresolved.

AKR breakup and auroral particle acceleration at substorm onset [PDF]
The dynamical behavior of auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) is investigated in connection with auroral particle acceleration at substorm onsets using high-time-resolution wave spectrograms provided by Polar/PWI electric field observations.
