    Notes: Abstract Geomagnetic storm-time variations often occur coherently at high latitude and the day-side dip equator where they affect the normal eastward Sq field. This paper presents an analysis of ground magnetic field and ionospheric electrodynamic data related to the geomagnetic storm which occured on 27 May 1993 during the International Equatorial Electrojet Year (IEEY) experiment. This storm-signature analysis on the auroral, mid-latitude and equatorial ground field and ionospheric electrodynamic data leads to the identification of a sensitive response of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) to large-scale auroral return current: this response consists in a change of the eastward electric field during the pre-sunrise hours (0400–0600 UT) coherently to the high-, mid-, and equatorial-latitude H decrease and the disappearance of the EEJ irregularities between the time-interval 0800–0950 UT. Subsequent to the change in h’F during pre-sunrise hours, the observed foF2 increase revealed an enhancement of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) caused by the high-latitude penetrating electric field. The strengthening of these irregularities attested by the Doppler frequency increase tracks the H component at the equator which undergoes a rapid increase around 0800 UT. The ΔH variations observed at the equator are the sum of the following components: SR, DP, DR, DCF and DT.

    The response of ionospheric convection in the polar cap to substorm activity (1995)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We report multi-instrument observations during an isolated substorm on 17 October 1989. The European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) radar operated in the SP-UK-POLI mode measuring ionospheric convection at latitudes 71 deg Lambda - 78 deg Lambda. Sub-Auroral Magnetometer Network (SAMNET) and the EISCAT Magnetometer Cross provide information on the timing of substorm expansion phase onset and subsequent intensifications, as well as the location of the field aligned and ionospheric currents associated with the substorm current wedge. Interplanetary Monitoring Platform-8 (IMP-8) magnetic field data are also included. Evidence of a substorm growth phase is provided by the equatorward motion of a flow reversal boundary across the EISCAT radar field of view at 2130 MLT, following a southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We infer that the polar cap expanded as a result of the addition of open magnetic flux in the tail lobes during this interval. The flow reversal boundary, which is a lower limit to the polar cap boundary, reached an invariant latitude equatorward of 71 deg Lambda by the time of the expansion phase onset. We conclude that the substorm onset region in the ionosphere, defined by the westward electrojet, mapped to a part of the tail radially earthward of the boundary between open and closed magnetic flux, the distant neutral line. Thus the substorm was not initiated at the distant neutral line, although there is evidence that it remained active during the expansion phase.

    In situ magnetic field observations of the AMPTE artificial comet (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Magnetometers aboard the IRM and UKS spacecraft monitored the magnetic field during the AMPTE artificial comet experiment of Dec. 27, 1984. Rapid photoionization of the released barium vapor resulted in the formation of a magnetic cavity, shielded from the ambient magnetic field.The presence of this highly conductive obstacle caused draping and compression of the solar wind magnetic field.

    Upstream pressure variations associated with the bow shock and their effects on the magnetosphere (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The AMPTE IRM solar wind data are analyzed to determine the relationship between upstream pressure fluctuations and magnetospheric perturbations. It is argued that the upstream pressure variations are not inherent in the solar wind but rather are associated with the bow shock. This conclusion follows from the fact that the upstream field strength and density associated with perturbations are highly correlated with each other, while they tend to be anticorrelated in the undisturbed solar wind, and that the upstream perturbations occur within the foreshock or at its boundary. The results imply a mode of interaction between the solar wind upstream and the magnetosphere whereby density changes produced in the foreshock subsequently convect through the bow shock and impinge on the magnetosphere. Upstream pressure perturbations should create significant effects on the magnetopause and at the foot of nearby field lines that lead to the polar cusp ionosphere.

    The diamagnetic effect during AMPTE's tail releases - Initial results (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A series of four plasma injection experiments were performed by the AMPTE-IRM spacecraft in the nighttime magnetosphere between 12 and 18 earth radii geocentric distance during spring 1985. The most prominent effect of these tail releases is the creation of magnetic cavities. The lifetime of the cavities ranged from a few seconds to some minutes, depending mainly on the ion species and secondly on the ambient field strength. Due to the subsonic and sub-Alfvenic environment, the interaction between the plasma cloud and the ambient plasma flow played only a minor role in these cases (in contrast to the releases in the solar wind), and thus the diamagnetic effect could be studied extensively. The perturbation of the exterior field and fine structures in the current-carrying shell were observed. The thickness of the shell and the current distribution in this layer were deduced from the magnetic recordings each time IRM entered the cavity.

    Magnetic ULF fluctuations in the compressional zone of AMPTE's artificial comets (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The two Ba releases in the solar wind, termed artificial comets (the first in interplanetary space, the second in the terrestrial magnetosheath), showed a number of common magnetic features. Both times a magnetic cavity was detected and a field pile-up observed with magnitudes several times the ambient field strength upstream of the cavity. The magnetic fluctuations in the compressed region are generally enhanced by a factor comparable to the amount of field pile-up. There is a peak in the spectra of both events around 0.1 Hz in the component which is perpendicular to the solar-wind velocity vector and almost field-aligned. This magnetosonic wave has been interpreted as the fundamental mode of resonance oscillations of the compression zone. For frequencies beyond 2 Hz the spectra decrease more steeply in the case of the second 'comet' than in the first. This is due to the interaction of the supersonic solar wind with the first comet. The spectra obtained during the first comet at the solar-wind/ion-cloud interface are identical to those observed during bow-shock crossings.

    In situ magnetic field measurements during AMPTE solar wind Li(+) releases (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The effects of lithium ion releases on solar wind flow are investigated. The background field conditions during the releases on September 11 and 20, 1984 are discussed. The magnetic field data recorded by the Ion Release Module and United Kingdom Satellite are described. It is observed that the first release occurred on the field lines connecting to the earth's bow shock causing difficulty in separating the effects of natural large scale perturbations from the ion effects. In the second release, which occurred in a stable, ambient environment, the characteristics of a Venus-like perturbation of the magnetic field are detected. It is concluded that in both releases a field cavity is formed, the field transverse to the solar wind flow is amplified, and the transverse component is compressed.

    Multisatellite and ground-based observations of transient ULF waves (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Transient ULF pulsations associated with variations in solar wind plasma density observed by the IMP 8 satellite are presently studied in light of observations obtained during a fortuitous alignment of the AMPTE and Viking satellites with respect to the EISCAT Magnetometer Cross. It is found that the isolated 10-min oscillation in solar wind plasma density produced magnetic field compression oscillations within the magnetosphere at the same frequency, thereby enhancing resonant oscillations at approximately twice the frequency which were already present. Support is seen for the periodic solar wind density variation's exciting of a tailward-traveling large-scale magnetosphere wave train which excites local field line resonant oscillations.

    Magnetic field maxima in the low latitude boundary layer (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The magnetic field often exhibits a maximum in the earth's low-latitude boundary layer. Examples of this behavior are shown using data from the AMPTE/IRM spacecraft, and it is argued that two fundamentally distinct causes exist for the excess field: (1) a depression, within the layer, of the population of medium-energy ions of magnetospheric origin and (2) field curvature effects associated with undulations of the magnetopause itself.

    Bursty bulk flows in the inner central plasma sheet (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-14
    Description: High-speed flows in the inner central plasma sheet (first reported by Baumjohann et al. (1990) are studied, together with the concurrent behavior of the plasma and magnetic field, by using AMPTE/IRM data from about 9 to 19 R(E) in the earth magnetotail. The conclusions drawn from the detailed analysis of a representative event are reinforced by a superposed epoch analysis applied on two years of data. The high-speed flows organize themselves in 10-min time scale flow enhancements called here bursty-bulk flow (BBF) events. Both temporal and spatial effects are responsible for their bursty nature. The flow velocity exhibits peaks of very large amplitude with a characteristic time scale of the order of a minute, which are usually associated with magnetic field dipolarizations and ion temeperature increases. The BBFs represent intervals of enhanced earthward convection and energy transport per unit area in the y-z GSM direction of the order of 5 x 10 exp 19 ergs/R(E-squared).
