H. Föppl,Gerhard Haerendel,L. Haser,R. Lüst,F. Melzner,B. Meyer,H. Neuss,H. H. Rabben,E. Rieger,J. Stöcker,W. Stoffregen +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, five Nike-Apache rockets were launched from Kiruna, Sweden, carrying barium release and electron concentration experiments, and the magnitudes of the electric fields varied between 2 and 20 v/km.
Journal ArticleDOI
The AMPTE artificial comet experiments
A. Valenzuela,Gerhard Haerendel,H. Föppl,F. Melzner,H. Neuss,E. Rieger,J. Stöcker,Otto H. Bauer,H. Höfner,J. Loidl +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the properties of the artificial comet head and tail, which they call the "artificial comet head" and describe its behavior in the solar wind from the AMPTE satellite.
Journal ArticleDOI

G. Paschmann,F. Melzner,R. Frenzel,H. Vaith,P. Parigger,U. Pagel,O. H. Bauer,Gerhard Haerendel,Wolfgang Baumjohann,N. Scopke,Roy B. Torbert,B. H. Briggs,J. Chan,K. A. Lynch,K. Morey,J. M. Quinn,D. Simpson,Colleen Young,Carl E. McIlwain,W. Fillius,S. S. Kerr,R. Mahieu,E. C. Whipple +22 more
TL;DR: The Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) as mentioned in this paper measures the drift of a weak beam of test electrons that, when emitted in certain directions, return to the spacecraft after one or more gyrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetospheric convection observed between 0600 and 2100 LT: Variations with Kp
TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed average patterns of the convective flow of plasma in the equatorial plane at L = 6.6 between 0600 and 2100 LT and for Kp ranging between 0 and 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
A statistical study of dayside magnetospheric electric field fluctuations with periods between 150 and 600 s
TL;DR: One hundred eighty-six days of electric field data from the GEOS 2 electron beam experiment have been used to study magnetospheric fluctuations at geostationary orbit with periods between 150 and 600 s as mentioned in this paper.
