Science Objectives and Rationale for the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Mission
TL;DR: The NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission as discussed by the authors uses two spacecraft making in situ measurements for at least 2 years in nearly the same highly elliptical, low inclination orbits (1.1×5.8 RE, 10∘).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that substorms are likely initiated by tail reconnection, and are reported on simultaneous measurements in the magnetotail at multiple distances, at the time of substorm onset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar wind control of the magnetopause shape, location, and motion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors verified the pressure balance relationship between the solar wind dynamic pressure and the location of the subsolar magnetopause by assembling a data set of 1821 magnetopsause crossings.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ISEE 3 study of average and substorm conditions in the distant magnetotail
TL;DR: In this paper, the average and substorm conditions in the distant magnetotail were investigated using ISEE 3 magnetic field and plasma observations, and the results were in qualitative agreement with leaky magnetopause model of Pilipp and Morfill (1978).
Journal ArticleDOI
Some low-altitude cusp dependencies on the interplanetary magnetic field
TL;DR: In this article, the low-altitude cusp dependencies on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) were investigated using the algorithm of Newell and Meng (1988) to identify the cusp proper.
