Journal ArticleDOI
Tail reconnection triggering substorm onset.
Vassilis Angelopoulos,James P. McFadden,Davin Larson,C. W. Carlson,Stephen B. Mende,Harald U. Frey,Tai Phan,David G. Sibeck,Karl-Heinz Glassmeier,Uli Auster,Eric Donovan,Ian R. Mann,I. Jonathan Rae,Christopher T. Russell,Andrei Runov,Xu-Zhi Zhou,Larry Kepko +16 more
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
Control of equatorial ionospheric morphology by atmospheric tides
Thomas J. Immel,Eiichi Sagawa,Scott L. England,S. B. Henderson,Maura E. Hagan,Stephen B. Mende,Harald U. Frey,Charles Swenson,Larry J. Paxton +8 more
TL;DR: Immel et al. as discussed by the authors showed that ionospheric densities vary with the strength of nonmigrating, diurnal atmospheric tides that are, in turn, driven mainly by weather in the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The THEMIS Array of Ground-based Observatories for the Study of Auroral Substorms
Stephen B. Mende,S. E. Harris,Harald U. Frey,Vassilis Angelopoulos,Christopher T. Russell,Eric Donovan,Brian Jackel,M. Greffen,Laura Peticolas +8 more
TL;DR: The NASA Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) project as mentioned in this paper is intended to investigate magnetospheric substorm phenomena by using five in-situ satellites and ground-based all-sky imagers and magnetometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substorm onset observations by IMAGE-FUV
TL;DR: The first 2.5 years of operation, the FUV instrument on the IMAGE spacecraft observed more than 2400 substorm onsets in the Northern Hemisphere as mentioned in this paper, which confirmed earlier results of statistical studies in terms of a median substorm onset location at 2300 hours and 66.4 degrees magnetic latitude.
Far Ultraviolet Imaging from the Image Spacecraft
Stephen B. Mende,H. Heetderks,Harald U. Frey,M. Lampton,S. P. Geller,Joseph M. Stock,R. Abiad,O. H. W. Siegmund,Anton S. Tremsin,Serge Habraken +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the IMAGE satellite instrument complement includes three Far Ultraviolet (FUV) instruments, including Wideband Imaging Camera (WIC), Spectrographic Imager (SI), and GEO instrument.
