The THEMIS Mission
TL;DR: The Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) mission is the fifth NASA Medium-class Explorer (MIDEX), launched on February 17, 2007 to determine the trigger and large-scale evolution of substorms as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The THEMIS ESA Plasma Instrument and In-flight Calibration
James P. McFadden,C. W. Carlson,Davin Larson,M. Ludlam,R. Abiad,B. Elliott,Paul Turin,M. Marckwordt,Vassilis Angelopoulos +8 more
TL;DR: The THEMIS instrument as discussed by the authors is designed to measure the ion and electron distribution functions over the energy range from a few eV up to 30 keV for electrons and 25 kV for ions, and it consists of a pair of electrostatic analyzers with common 180°×6° fields-of-view that sweep out 4π steradians each 3 s spin period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral line model of substorms: Past results and present view
Daniel N. Baker,Tuija Pulkkinen,Vassilis Angelopoulos,Wolfgang Baumjohann,Robert L. McPherron +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the NENL model of magnetospheric substorms, including the role of coupling with the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field, the growth phase sequence, the expansion phase (and onset), and the recovery phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bursty Bulk Flows in the Inner Central Plasma Sheet
Vassilis Angelopoulos,Wolfgang Baumjohann,Charles F. Kennel,Ferdinand V. Coroniti,Margaret G. Kivelson,R. Pellat,R. J. Walker,H. Lühr,G. Paschmann +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-speed flows in the inner central plasma sheet are studied, together with the concurrent behavior of the plasma and magnetic field, by using AMPTE/IRM data from about 9 to 19 R(E) in the earth magnetotail.
Bursty bulk flows in the inner central plasma sheet: An effective means of earthward transport in the magnetotail
Vassilis Angelopoulos,Charles F. Kennel,Ferdinand V. Coroniti,R. Pellat,Margaret G. Kivelson,R. J. Walker,Wolfgang Baumjohann,G. Paschmann,H. Lühr +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of different flow magnitude samples for Earthward transport in the ICPS are statistically evaluated and several representative Bursty Bulk Flow (BBF) events and their relevance to Earth-ward transport are discussed.
