TL;DR: The Cluster mission as mentioned in this paper provides a new opportunity to study plasma processes and structures in the near-Earth plasma environment using four-point measurements of the magnetic field, which can enable the analysis of the three dimensional structure and dynamics of a range of phenomena which shape the macroscopic properties of the magnetosphere.

Four‐point Cluster application of magnetic field analysis tools: The Curlometer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the first application of the Curlometer (direct estimation of the electric current density from curl(B), using measured spatial gradients of the magnetic field) analysis technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
The multi-scale nature of the solar wind
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the past and present research into the multi-scale nature of the solar wind based on in-situ spacecraft measurements and plasma theory and emphasize that couplings of processes across scales are important for the global dynamics and thermodynamics of solar wind.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron-scale plasma measurements revealed super-Alfvenic electron jets reaching 15,000 kilometers per second, electron meandering motion and acceleration by the electric field, producing multiple crescent-shaped structures in the velocity distributions, consistent with fast reconnection.

Flux transfer events: Scale size and interior structure
TL;DR: The first direct investigation of the spatial properties of flux transfer events (FTEs) at the earth's dayside magnetopause is reported in this paper, where simultaneous magnetometer and plasma data from the ISEE 1 and 2 satellites are combined to show that magnetosheath FTEs can have a scale size of the order of an earth radius in the normal direction.

On the detection of the polarization states of Pc micropulsations
J. V. Olson,John C. Samson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the ease in construction and utility of detectors sensitive to particular micropulsation characteristics, such as HD plane polarization, for magnetospheric diagnostics, by following the movement of a resonant region across a single ground based magnetic station during a large amplitude Pc5 event.
