Electrodynamic parameters in the nighttime sector during auroral substorms
Ryoichi Fujii,R. A. Hoffman,Phillip C. Anderson,John D. Craven,Masahisa Sugiura,L. A. Frank,Nelson C. Maynard +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a generic bulge-type auroral emission region has been deduced from auroral images taken by the Dynamics Explorer 1 (DE 1) satellite during a number of isolated substorms, and the form has been divided into six sectors, based on the peculiar emission characteristics in each sector: west of bulge, surge horn, surge, middle surge, eastern bulge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of ionospheric currents off the coast of Peru
TL;DR: Ionospheric electric current measurement, determining vertical current density distribution and electron number density for geomagnetic field study was performed in this article, where the electron number and current density distributions were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equatorial bubbles updrafting at supersonic speeds
T. L. Aggson,William J. Burke,Nelson C. Maynard,W. B. Hanson,Philip C. Anderson,James A. Slavin,Walter R. Hoegy,Jack L. Saba +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a heuristic model of a depleted flux tube with constant circular cross section moving upward through a background plasma to predict velocities of equatorial bubble updrafting at 2 km/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping ionospheric convection patterns to the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present projections of the H-M convection patterns to the magnetosphere in both corotating and inertial coordinates using the magnetic field model of Tsyganenko (1989).
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of the evening plasma drift vortex in the low‐latitude ionosphere using San Marco electric field measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, a satellite-based composite in altitude and local time of the evening enhancements in zonal and vertical drifts and the shear in the zonal drift was analyzed.
