Transient and localized processes in the magnetotail: a review
A. S. Sharma,Rumi Nakamura,Andrei Runov,Andrei Runov,Elena Grigorenko,Hiroshi Hasegawa,Masahiro Hoshino,Philippe Louarn,Christopher J. Owen,Anatoli Petrukovich,J. A. Sauvaud,Vladimir Semenov,V. A. Sergeev,James A. Slavin,Bengt U. Ö. Sonnerup,Lev Zelenyi,G. Fruit,Stein Haaland,Helmi Malova,Kristian Snekvik +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the inter-connected nature of different transient and localized phenomena in the magnetotail and highlight their important characteristics, with emphasis on the new results from Cluster multipoint observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of Solar Wind–Magnetosphere–Ionosphere–Atmosphere Coupling and the Generation of Magnetospheric Currents
Stephen E. Milan,Stephen E. Milan,Lasse Boy Novock Clausen,John C. Coxon,J. A. Carter,M.-T. Walach,Karl Magnus Laundal,Nikolai Østgaard,Paul Tenfjord,Jone Peter Reistad,Kristian Snekvik,Haje Korth,Brian J. Anderson +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the morphology and dynamics of the electrical current systems of the terrestrial magnetosphere and ionosphere were reviewed, and the conditions under which the currents are expected to be weak, and hence minimally contaminate measurements of the internally produced magnetic field of the Earth, were briefly outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
How the IMF B-y induces a B-y component in the closed magnetosphere and how it leads to asymmetric currents and convection patterns in the two hemispheres
Paul Tenfjord,Nikolai Østgaard,Kristian Snekvik,Karl Magnus Laundal,Jone Peter Reistad,Stein Haaland,Stein Haaland,Steve Milan,Steve Milan +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors acknowledge the use of NASA/GSFC's Space Physics Data Data and the Facility for OMNI data, and provide results provided by the Community Coordinated Modeling Center at Goddard Space Flight Center through their public Run on Request (ROP) system (http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov).
Journal ArticleDOI
How the IMF $\mathit{B}_{y}$ induces a $\mathit{B}_{y}$ component in the closed magnetosphere and how it leads to asymmetric currents and convection patterns in the two hemispheres
Paul Tenfjord,Nikolai Østgaard,Kristian Snekvik,Karl Magnus Laundal,Jone Peter Reistad,Stein Haaland,Steve Milan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry global magnetohydrodynamics model was used to study the effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) IMF $\mathit{B}_{y}$ component on the coupling between the solar wind and magnetosphere-ionosphere system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earthward plasma sheet flows during substorm phases
L. Juusola,L. Juusola,Nikolai Østgaard,Eija Tanskanen,Eija Tanskanen,Noora Partamies,Kristian Snekvik +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of earthward plasma sheet flows during substorms was studied using 15 years of data obtained by Geotail, Cluster, and THEMIS, and the results indicated that any effect of the flows on substorm onset triggering would be caused by medium rather than very high speed flows.
