Dynamics of the inner magnetosphere near times of substorm onsets

Abstract: The electrodynamics of the inner magnetosphere near times of substorm onsets have been investigated using CRRES measurements of magnetic and electric fields, energetic electron fluxes, in conjunction with ground‐based observations. Six events were studied in detail, spanning the 2100 to 0000 MLT sector and L values from 5 to 7. In each case the dawn‐dusk electric field was enhanced over typical background electric fields, and significant, low‐frequency pulsation activity was observed. The amplitudes of the pul… Show more

“…Over (Maynard et al, 1996). During the onset of one intense substorm in that study, the net Poynting flux due to Alfven waves was directed toward the Earth along the ambient magnetic field and ranged up to 0.8 ergs cm-2s -• for several minutes.…”

“…Observations show that substorm-associated electric fields usually display a very complicated behavior (Maynard et al, 1996). Large, transient electric fields appear in the plasma sheet during the substorm expansion phase (Aggson et al, 1983;Cattell and Mozer, 1984;Rowland and Wygant, 1998; 580 N. Yu.…”

“…Hence, midlatitude Pi2s could also be driven by field line resonances [e.g., Takahashi et al, 1996;Glassmeier et al, 1999] from compressional waves that move radially inward Chang and Lanzerotti, 1975], with following injection in the inner magnetosphere. The onset of the compressional waves could be quasi-periodic plasma variations near the leading edge of the plasma sheet or in the injected plasma [Smits et al, 1986;Saka et al, 1996;Maynard et al, 1996]. This may be the reason that midlatitude Pi2s are observed more globally (though with smaller amplitudes) than the plasma sheet oscillating flows (which are localized within BBF channels 2-3 R E wide).…”
