Large-scale electric fields in the Earth's magnetosphere
TL;DR: A review of the main observed facts and theoretical concepts related to the origin and structure of the earth's magnetosphere can be found in this paper, where the authors also discuss the role of the solar wind in the evolution of the magnetosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal ion composition measurements of the formation of the new outer plasmasphere and double plasmapause during storm recovery phase
TL;DR: The outer plasmasphere formed and consisted of cold, essentially Maxwellian plasma with ion composition and thermal energy characteristics similar to those of the inner plasmosphere, albeit at significantly lower densities as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of ionospheric electron content from the faraday rotation of geostationary satellite signals.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that using a fixed mean field height of 400 km, the observed Faraday rotation gives the electron content up to a height h sub F of 2000 km with an accuracy of plus or minus 3%.

Modern exospheric theories and their observational relevance
Hans J. Fahr,Bernie D. Shizgal +1 more
TL;DR: A review and critique of present-day kinetic theory models of planetary exospheres is presented in this article, where the authors point out the need for a rigorous kinetic theory treatment of the atmosphere in the altitude region between the thermosphere and the exosphere.

Atomic hydrogen escape rate due to charge exchange with hot plasmaspheric ions
L. J. Maher,Brain A. Tinsley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the charge exchange loss is more important than Jeans escape for the earth for the ion and electron temperatures and concentrations to several thousand kilometers of altitude were obtained from the Atmosphere Explorer C satellite for 1974 and to 850 km from Arecibo incoherent scatter radar measurements.

Whistler studies of the plasmapause in the magnetosphere: 1. Temporal variations in the position of the knee and some evidence on plasma motions near the knee
TL;DR: The position of the knee in the density of magnetospheric ionization was measured on a high time-resolution basis using whistlers recorded during July and part of August 1963 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of plasmapause, or magnetospheric plasma knee, by the combined action of magnetospheric convection and plasma escape from the tail
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic lines of force in the magnetosphere are separated into two groups: those that travel across the tail during the convective motion and those that are never transported to the tail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whistler evidence of a ‘knee’ in the magnetospheric ionization density profile
TL;DR: In this paper, a new whistler phenomenon called knee whistler is compared with ordinary whistlers and is illustrated by a number of examples recorded at middle and high-latitude stations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bulk motion of the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, an upper atmosphere geophysical measurements are surveyed to determine to what extent the available data support the concept of bulk motion of the magnetosphere (convection) and the associated electric field.
