Differences between CME‐driven storms and CIR‐driven storms
TL;DR: In this paper, the differences between CME-driven and CIR-driven geomagnetic storms are compared and twenty one differences between the two types of storms are tabulated, including the bow shock, the magnetosheath, the radiation belts, the ring current, the aurora, Earth's plasma sheet, magnetospheric convection, ULF pulsations, spacecraft charging in the magnetosphere, and the saturation of the polar cap potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
The driving of the plasma sheet by the solar wind
TL;DR: In this paper, the coupling of the plasma sheet to the solar wind was studied statistically using measurements from various satellite pairs: one satellite in the sun and one in either the magnetotail central plasma sheet or the near-Earth plasma sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auroral arc thicknesses as predicted by various theories
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined 12 electron acceleration mechanisms and 10 generator mechanisms for auroral arcs, and a characteristic auroral-arc thickness was worked out for each mechanism except one, and the arc thicknesses were then mapped down to the ionosphere along the terrestrial magnetic field lines; near the Earth, a dipole magnetic field model was used, and farther from the Earth the mapping included the effects of magnetic field-line draping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux tube texture of the solar wind: Strands of the magnetic carpet at 1 AU?
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that the inner heliosphere is filled with a network of entangled magnetic flux tubes and that the flux tubes are fossil structures that originate at the solar surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Earth's plasma sheet as a laboratory for flow turbulence in high-β MHD
TL;DR: In this article, the bulk flows and magnetic-field fluctuations of the plasma sheet were investigated using single point measurements from the ISEE-2 Fast Plasma Experiment and fluxgate magnetometer.
