This book was released on 2015 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause is one of the most important mechanisms that efficiently transfers solar wind particles, momentum, and energy into the magnetosphere. Magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause is usually asymmetric since the plasma and magnetic field properties are quite different in the magnetosphere and the magnetosheath. Cold dense plasma, originating either directly from the ionosphere or from the plasmasphere, has often been observed at the adjacent magnetopause. These cold plasmas may affect reconnection since they modify the plasma properties on the magnetospheric side significantly. This dissertation presents case and statistical studies of the characteristics of the cold ions observed at the dayside magnetopause by using Cluster spacecraft datasets. The plasmaspheric plumes have been distinguished from the ionospheric outows using ion pitch angle distributions. The ionospheric outows feature unidirectional or bidirectional field-aligned pitch angle distributions, whereas the plasmaspheric plumes are characterized by 90° pitch angle distributions. The occurrence rates of the plasmaspheric plumes and ionospheric outows and their dependence on the solar wind/Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) conditions have been investigated. It is found that the occurrence rate of plasmaspheric plume or ionospheric plasma strongly depends on the solar wind/IMF conditions. In particular, plasmaspheric plumes tend to occur during southward IMF while ionospheric outows tends to occur during northward IMF. The occurrence rate of the plasmaspheric plumes is significantly higher on the duskside than that on the dawnside, indicating that the plasmaspheric plumes may lead to a dawn-dusk asymmetry of dayside reconnection. Furthermore, this dissertation investigates the behavior of the cold dense plasma of ionospheric origin during magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause. The motion of cold plasmaspheric ions entering the reconnection region differs from that of warmer magnetosheath and magnetospheric ions. In contrast to the warmer ions, which are probably accelerated by reconnection near the subsolar magnetopause, the colder ions are simply entrained by E x B drift at high latitudes on the recently reconnected magnetic field lines. This indicates that plasmaspheric ions can sometimes play a very limited role in magnetic reconnection process. Finally, this dissertation examines a controlling factor that leads to the asymmetric reconnection geometry at the magnetopause. It is demonstrated that the separatrix and ow boundary angles are greater on the magnetosheath side than on the magnetospheric side of the magnetopause, probably due to the stronger density asymmetry rather than magnetic field asymmetry at this boundary.

Borovsky and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold-ion populations and cold-electron populations are extremely difficult to measure in the Earth’s magnetosphere, and their properties, evolutions, and controlling factors are poorly understood. They are sometimes referred to as the “hidden populations”. But they are known to have multiple impacts on the behavior of the global magnetospheric system. These impacts include (a) the reduction of the dayside reconnection rate and consequently the reduction of solar-wind/magnetosphere coupling, (b) alteration of the growth rate and saturation amplitudes of plasma waves resulting in alterations of the energization rates of the radiation belts, (c) changes in plasma-wave properties resulting in changes in the loss rates of the ring current and radiation belts, (d) changes in the mass density of the magnetosphere resulting in changes in the radial diffusion of the radiation belts, (e) spatial and temporal structuring of the aurora, (f) altering magnetotail reconnection, (g) changing spacecraft charging, and (h) acting as sources for warm and hot magnetospheric populations. A recent workshop on the cold-particle populations of the magnetosphere inspired new work on the outstanding problems caused by a lack of understanding of those cold populations. This Research Topic will collect reports of that new work and will stimulate the formation of author teams to write review articles on what is known and what needs to be known. Commentaries assessing the present situation and guiding the research field into the future will be solicited from the community. Methods articles describing new measurement techniques and new spaceflight mission concepts will be welcomed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James L. Burch·C. Philippe Escoubet Originally published in the journal Space Science Reviews, Volume 145, Nos 1–2, 1–2. DOI: 10. 1007/s11214-009-9532-7 © Springer Science+Business Media B. V. 2009 The IMAGE and CLUSTER spacecraft have revolutionized our understanding of the inner magnetosphere and in particular the plasmasphere. Before launch, the plasmasphere was not a prime objective of the CLUSTER mission. In fact, CLUSTER might not have ever observed this region because a few years before the CLUSTER launch (at the beginning of the 1990s), it was proposed to raise the perigee of the orbit to 8 Earth radii to make multipoint measu- ments in the current disruption region in the tail. Because of ground segment constraints, this proposal did not materialize. In view of the great depth and breadth of plasmaspheric research and numerous papers published on the plasmasphere since the CLUSTER launch, this choice certainly was a judicious one. The fact that the plasmasphere was one of the prime targets in the inner magnetosphere for IMAGE provided a unique opportunity to make great strides using the new and comp- mentary measurements of the two missions. IMAGE, with sensitive EUV cameras, could for the rst time make global images of the plasmasphere and show its great variability d- ing storm-time. CLUSTER, with four-spacecraft, could analyze in situ spatial and temporal structures at the plasmapause that are particularly important in such a dynamic system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.L. Burch·V. Angelopoulos Originally published in the journal Space Science Reviews, Volume 141, Nos 1–4, 1–3. DOI: 10.1007/s11214-008-9474-5 © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 The Earth, like all the other planets, is continuously bombarded by the solar wind, which is variable on many time scales owing to its connection to the activity of the Sun. But the Earth is unique among planets because its atmosphere, magnetic eld, and rotation rates are each signi cant, though not dominant, players in the formation of its magnetosphere and its reaction to solar-wind inputs. An intriguing fact is that no matter what the time scale of solar-wind variations, the Earth’s response has a de nite pattern lasting a few hours. Known as a magnetospheric substorm, the response involves a build-up, a crash, and a recovery. The build-up (known as the growth phase) occurs because of an interlinking of the geom- netic eld and the solar-wind magnetic eld known as magnetic reconnection, which leads to storage of increasing amounts of magnetic energy and stress in the tail of the mag- tosphere and lasts about a half hour. The crash (known as the expansion phase) occurs when the increased magnetic energy and stresses are impulsively relieved, the current system that supports the stretched out magnetic tail is diverted into the ionosphere, and bright, dynamic displays of the aurora appear in the upper atmosphere. The expansion and subsequent rec- ery phases result from a second magnetic reconnection event that decouples the solar-wind and geomagnetic elds.

This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observations presented here support the kinetic (or single particle) description of reconnection where ions interacting with the magnetopause conserve their pitch angles or change them by equal amounts as in adiabatic motion. These observations include ion reflection and transmission at the magnetopause and time of flight effects associated with the magnetopause layers, with an emphasis here on ion reflection. Velocities of the reflected distributions predicted from this kinetic description are in good agreement with observed velocities. However, predicted velocities for the transmitted distributions are often higher than observed ones. Reflected distributions are also heated at the magnetopause; however, this heating is less important than the large scale ion motion. Reflection coefficients at the magnetopause are high (averaging 30%), appear to be the same on either side of the magnetopause, and have little or no dependence on ion mass. Time of flight effects result from the finite extent of the reconnection layers and are best observed at the edges of the layers. Fuselier, Stephen A.

This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-Scale Coupling and Energy Transfer in the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere System provides a systematic understanding of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere dynamics. Cross-scale coupling has become increasingly important in the Space Physics community. Although large-scale processes can specify the averaged state of the system reasonably well, they cannot accurately describe localized and rapidly varying structures in space in actual events. Such localized and variable structures can be as intense as the large-scale features. This book covers observations on quantifying coupling and energetics and simulation on evaluating impacts of cross-scale processes. It includes an in-depth review and summary of the current status of multi-scale coupling processes, fundamental physics, and concise illustrations and plots that are usable in tutorial presentations and classrooms. Organized by physical quantities in the system, Cross-Scale Coupling and Energy Transfer in the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere System reviews recent advances in cross-scale coupling and energy transfer processes, making it an important resource for space physicists and researchers working on the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere. Describes frontier science and major science around M-I-T coupling, allowing for foundational understanding of this emerging field in space physics Reviews recent and key findings in the cutting-edge of the science Discusses open questions and pathways for understanding how the field is evolving

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 118. The magnetosphere is an open system that interacts with the solar wind. In this system, solar wind energy continuously permeates different regions of the magnetosphere through electromagnetic processes, which we can well describe in terms of current systems. In fact, our ability to use various methods to study magnetospheric current systems has recently prompted significant progress in our understanding of the phenomenon. Unprecedented coverage of satellite and ground?]based observations has advanced global approaches to magnetospheric current systems, whereas advanced measurements of electromagnetic fields and particles have brought new insights about micro?]processes. Increased computer capabilities have enabled us to simulate the dynamics not only of the terrestrial magnetosphere but also the magnetospheres of other planets. Based on such developments, the present volume revisits outstanding issues about magnetospheric current systems.
