TLDR
In this paper, the results of a rocket borne electric field experiment flown near local midnight from Andenes, Norway have been transformed to an Earth-fixed coordinate system and compared with plasma temperature and density measurements, energetic particle fluxes, and perpendicular electric field variations, to strengthen the earlier conclusion that ∼10 mV/m electric fields existed parallel to the magnetic field line during the flight.About:

Electric fields in diffuse aurora
TL;DR: In this article, the ionospheric electric field has been measured in the E region above the Churchill auroral research range under quiet and under disturbed conditions, and the results were obtained 1 1 2 and 2 1 2 hr before local midnight over an altitude range of 115-165 km.

Kinetic Alfven waves in plasma sheet boundary layer—particle aspect analysis
J. Shrivastava,G. Shrivastava +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the particle aspect approach is adopted to investigate the trajectories of charged particles in the electromagnetic field of kinetic Alfven wave, and expressions for the dispersion relation, damping rate and associated currents in homogenous plasma.

Structure and Evolutionary History of the Solar System (Book Review)

TL;DR: In this paper, a sharp distinction is made between the large quantity of speculations about the interiors of the bodies and the rather meager facts known with a reasonable degree of certainty.

Magnetospheric Currents during Substorms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether the observed magnetic field disturbances Δ B (X, Y, Z) at various points in the magnetosphere during substorms are consistent with those which we expected from the diverted cross-tail current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric field and fine structure in aurora
TL;DR: In this article, simultaneous measurements of electric field and optical aurora during a weak PCA event are presented, where the aurora consisted of faint structures superposed on a homogeneous glow and on-board photometers showed that the rocket passed through two discrete auroral forms.

A mechanism for energizing electrons in the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, an electrodynamic heating mechanism is proposed to account for the precipitation of kilovolt energy electrons during an auroral disturbance, given the existence of an electric field transverse to the geomagnetic field caused by space charges in the magnetosphere, currents will flow along the magnetic field connecting the space charges to the conducting ionosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, five Nike-Apache rockets were launched from Kiruna, Sweden, carrying barium release and electron concentration experiments, and the magnitudes of the electric fields varied between 2 and 20 v/km.

Electric field measurements in the auroral ionosphere

TL;DR: Vector electric field and particle intensity measurements from sounding rocket launched into visible aurora were collected from the International Space Station (ISS) as mentioned in this paper, where they were used to detect the aurora.

Effects of Field-Aligned Currents on the Structure of the Ionosphere
TL;DR: The influence of electric currents along the magnetic field lines on the high-latitude F-layer ionosphere is investigated theoretically in this paper, where it is shown that a current of either sign leads to a reduction of the total electron content and the maximum density, if the charge carriers have to be produced in the ionosphere.

Investigation of the operation of a d.c. electric field detector
TL;DR: In this article, double-lungmuir probe detector systems have been successfully used on three rockets in the past two years to measure quasi-static and a.c. electric fields in the auroral zone ionosphere.
