Two types of magnetospheric ELF chorus and their substorm dependences

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of extremely low frequency (10-1500 Hz) magnetospheric chorus to all local times and latitudes is investigated in order to determine dependence on substorms, and to evaluate the conditions under which chorus is generated.

Self‐consistent particle and parallel electrostatic field distributions in the magnetospheric‐ionospheric auroral region

TL;DR: In this paper, the variation of the selfconsistent electrostatic potential along the magnetic field is calculated by application of the principle of quasi-neutrality to the plasma components distributed along an auroral field line.

The polar wind and the terrestrial helium budget

TL;DR: Helium isotopes escape mechanism from earth atmosphere related to polar wind ionospheric plasma flow from earth was discussed in this paper, where a helium isotope escape mechanism was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-latitude plasma transport: The polar wind

TL;DR: Plasma transport models of polar ionosphere, discussing physical processes involved and effects on electron concentration, ion composition and speeds were discussed in this paper, where the authors also discussed the physical process involved and the effects of electron concentration and ion composition.

Sources of Ion Outflow in the High Latitude Ionosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current state of our observational knowledge on their occurrence, energy, composition, variability, interrelationships, and quantitative contributions to the overall mass input to the magnetosphere and identify the prevalent sources and the gaps of our current understanding of these sources.

Interplanetary Magnetic Field and the Auroral Zones

TL;DR: In this article, it was found that a model with a southward interplanetary magnetic field leads to a natural explanation of the SD currents and speculative aspects of the problem as they appear at this time are discussed.

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.

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.

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.

The polar wind and the terrestrial helium budget

TL;DR: Helium isotopes escape mechanism from earth atmosphere related to polar wind ionospheric plasma flow from earth was discussed in this paper, where a helium isotope escape mechanism was discussed.
