OGO-A magnetic field observations

Abstract: This paper summarizes the new findings that have come from the intial study of the OGO‐A fluxgate magnetometer measurements between 4 and 24.5 RE (earth radii). These include the following: (a) A model magnetic field profile of the cross‐sectional structure of the bow shock is derived in terms of the sharpness of the interface, the rise time, and the total time interval occupied by a field pile‐up at the shock. Using a simple model to derive the velocity of shock movements, these times are converted to three t… Show more

“…In fact, the magnetosheath field is often e qual to or greater thar. the magnetosphere field (Heppner et al, 1967) . This more usual situation is displayed in Figure 1 On certain days the interplanetary field may happen to be oriented such that the magnetosheath is aligned with the magnetosphere field.…”

“…Frank (1968) has observed similar proton events at greater distances from the shock on higher apogee spacecraft. Heppner (1967) has reported small amplitude waves in the magnetic field in close proximity to the bow shock at frequencies predominantly near 1 hz and sometimes greater than 7 hz. Greenstadt et al (1968) have used a searchcoil magnetometer on the Vela spacecraft near the shock to detect disturbances with -4 -periods 20-60 seconds in a plane perpendicular to the spacecraft spin axis.…”

“…Magnetic field observations between 10 Re and 40 Re behind the earth have shown two main kinds of variation of the tail magnetic field namely, slow increase or decrease of the field at a rate of some gammas per hour, and rapid increase or decrease of the field at a rate which can be as high as several gammas per minute (Anderson and Ness 1966, Heppner et al, 1967, Fairfield and Ness 1970, Camidge and Rostoker 1970, Brody and Holzer 1970. The typical substorm signature in the tail is a slow increase of the field followed by a rapid decrease.…”
