Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the transient magnetospheric response to sudden solar wind dynamic pressure variations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the evidence for transient variations in the solar wind dynamic pressure, their effect on magnetopause boundary motion, and the signatures they produce within the magnetosphere and at high-latitude auroral ground stations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient events in the outer magnetosphere : boundary waves or flux transfer events ?
TL;DR: In this article, simultaneous solar wind and magnetospheric observations are presented for a series of flux transfer events (FTEs) observed by the UKS and IRM spacecraft in the outer prenoon magnetosphere on October 28, 1984.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ring current oxygen ions escaping into the magnetosheath
Qiugang Zong,B. Wilken,S. Y. Fu,Theodore A. Fritz,A. Korth,Nobuyuki Hasebe,D. J. Williams,Zuyin Pu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used principal axis analysis (PAA) to identify the magnetopause as a rotational discontinuity by using the three-dimensional polar versus azimuthal angle distribution of the oxygen ions showed that the oxygen flow has a north to south velocity component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of energetic (≳30 keV/nucleon) ions observed by the Wind/STEP instrument upstream of the Earth's bow shock
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the characteristics of energetic ions (0.03-2.0 MeV/nucleon) during 1225 upstream events observed by the Energetic Particles: Anisotropy, Composition, and Transport/Suprathermal Energy Particle (EPACT/STEP) instrument on board the Wind spacecraft from 1994 day 325 to 1999 day 92.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low‐latitude boundary layer near noon: An open field line model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to interpret the low-latitude boundary layer (LLBL) as being on open lines with an inner boundary at the separatrix between open and closed magnetic field lines.

TL;DR: In this article, 11 passes of the ISEE satellites through the frontside terrestrial magnetopause were identified, where the plasma velocity in the magnetic field and boundary layer was substantially larger than in the magnetosheath, with a view to determining whether the velocity enhancements can be explained by magnetic field reconnection.
Journal ArticleDOI
ISEE observations of flux transfer events at the dayside magnetopause
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined magnetic field measurements from the ISEE 1 and 2 spacecraft in the vicinity of the magnetopause near local noon on a typical pass when the magnetosheath field is southward.
Journal ArticleDOI
The causes of convection in the Earth's magnetosphere: A review of developments during the IMS
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed analysis of plasmas and fields in the vicinity of the dayside magnetopause using the International Magnetospheric Study by the ISEE 1 and 2 spacecraft and conclude that dayside reconnection is the dominant contributor under usual conditions.

Outward flow of protons from the Earth's bow shock
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupled hydromagnetic wave excitation and ion acceleration upstream of the earth's bow shock
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the Lee (1982) self-consistent theory of upstream wave excitation and particle energization to address observations by Voyager 2 of sunward propagating MHD waves and diffuse suprathermal particle populations upstream of the Jovian bow shock.
