    A small-scale plasmoid formed during the May 13, 1985, AMPTE magnetotail barium release (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Plasmoids are closed magnetic-loop structures with entrained hot plasma which are inferred to occur on large spatial scales in space plasma systems. A model is proposed here to explain the brightening and rapid tailward movement of the barium cloud released by the AMPTE IRM spacecraft on May 13, 1985. The model suggests that a small-scale plasmoid was formed due to a predicted development of heavy-ion-induced tearing in the thinned near-tail plasma sheet. Thus, a plasmoid may actually have been imaged due to the emissions of the entrained plasma ions within the plasma bubble.

    Report from magnetospheric science (1989)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: By the early 1990s, magnetospheric physics will have progressed primarily through observations made from Explorer-class spacecraft, sounding rockets, ground based facilities, and shuttle based experiments. The global geospace science (GGS) element of the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program, when combined with contributions to the ESA Cluster mission and ground based and computer modeling programs, will form the basis for a major U.S. initiative in magnetospheric physics. The scientific objectives of the GGS program involve the study of energy transport throughout geospace. The Cluster mission will investigate turbulence and boundary phenomena in geospace, particularly at high latitudes on the dayside and in the region of the neutral sheet at geocentric distances of about 20 earth radii on the night side of the earth. The current state of knowledge is reviewed and the goals of these missions are briefly discussed.

    Relativistic magnetospheric electrons: Lower ionospheric conductivity and long-term atmospheric variability (1989)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: Long term observations of relativistic electrons in the earth's outer magnetosphere show a strong solar cycle dependence with a prominent intensity maximum during the approach to solar minimum. This population therefore closely corresponds to the presence of high speed solar wind streams emanating from solar coronal holes. Using a numerical code, the precipitating electron energy deposition in the earth's upper and middle atmosphere were calculated. Observed events (typically persisting several days) would have maximum effect in the 40 to 60 km altitude range with peak energy depositions greater than 110 keV/cu cm-s. It is suggested that this electron population could play an important long term role in modulating lower D region ionization and middle atmospheric ozone chemistry. Methods are described of observing middle atmospheric and lower ionospheric effects of the electrons including balloon, riometer, and space-based ozone sensor systems. A particularly promising approach may involve the monitoring of global Schumann resonance modes which are sensitive to global changes in the properties of the earth-ionosphere cavity. Present work indicates that Schumann resonance properties are moderately correlated with the flux of precipitating relativistic electrons thus offering the possibility of continuously monitoring this aspect of magnetosphere-atmosphere coupling.

    Relativistic electrons near geostationary orbit - Evidence for internal magnetospheric acceleration (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The possibility of an internal magnetospheric acceleration mechanism as the source of relativistic electron fluxes in earth's outer magnetosphere is explored. Such a model includes the substorm generation of a spectrally soft electron component, with subsequent inward radial diffusion. At low L values, an outward transport of energetic electrons occurs which leads to a return of the accelerated population to the outer magnetosphere. Data obtained concurrently at geostationary orbit at three widely spaced local times during a relativistic electron event provide support for acceleration by a recirculation process.

    The use of assimilated stratospheric data in constituent transport calculations (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A stratospheric assimilation system has been developed, which generates wind data that is consistent with the geopotential height (and temperature) field and the primitive equations in the general circulation model. This paper reports the first known calculations to use data from an assimilation to calculate constituent transport in the stratosphere. Nitric acid (NHO3) during the Limb IR Monitor of the Stratosphere (Gille et al., 1984) period is studied. The high-latitude time variance of the HNO3 is accurately captured. These studies suggest that data from an assimilation process offers tremendous potential for studying stratospheric dynamics, constituent transport, and chemistry.

    Energetic electron components at geosynchronous orbit (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Energy distribution functions have been derived from energetic (30-2000 keV) electron fluxes observed simultaneously by three geosynchronous orbit satellites throughout the year 1986. These distributions, as well as others derived from empirical models of outer magnetospheric electron fluxes, can be resolved into two distinct relativistic Maxwellian components which are each fully parameterized by a density and a temperature. A four-parameter characterization is presented which provides a new, simplified procedure for the interpretation of energetic electron data in the outer magnetosphere.

    CDAW 8 observations of plasmoid signatures in the geomagnetic tail - An assessment (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Magnetotail observations from the ISEE 3 distant (1983) tail mission taken during the Coordinated Data Analysis Workshop 8 (CDAW 8) A and G events are investigated. The ISEE 3 magnetic field, plasma, and energetic particle measurements taken in these two plasmoids have been analyzed and compared with various equilibrium structures and propagating waves/tail oscillation modes. Results indicate general agreement with either the closed-loop (Hones, 1977) or very small pitch angle flux rope (Hughes and Sibeck, 1987; Birn et al., 1989) models of plasmoid structure and poorer agreement with other hypotheses. Calculations based upon typical plasmoid and tail parameters are presented, indicating that the J and B force associated with the disconnected lobe field lines may be sufficient to accelerate plasmoids up to the speeds observed by ISEE 3. Overall, the energy expended in accelerating the plasmoids down the tail appears comparable to that dissipated in the inner magnetosphere and ionosphere. The study produces strong evidence in favor of the plasmoid model of substorm tail dynamics.

    Substorms, plasmoids, flux robes, and magnetotail flux loss on March 25, 1983 - CDAW-8 (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: During a 9-hour period following a storm-sudden commencement, six spacecraft near geosynchronous orbit, one over the pole, and three in the mgnetotail, monitored a complex sequence of magnetospheric variations. Magnetic field compressions associated with the sudden commencement were seen first by the near-earth spacecraft and subsequently by the three down-tail spacecraft with increasing time delays that were consistent with the tailward movement of an interplanetary-shock-associated pressure enhancement. Ground magnetograms and synchronous orbit data are used to identify 7 substorm intensifications during this geomagnetically active period. Six of these intensifications are clearly associated with tail lobe field decreases about 18 R sub E behind the earth. Four of these intensifications are followed by both Bz field increases in the tail lobes at about 18 and about 30 R sub E and by the subsequent observation of rapidly flowing plasma sheet plasma at ISEE 3 about 110 R sub E down the tail. During two substorms where DE 1 was optically observing the auroral oval, the area of the polar cap was observed to decrease as the tail lobe field decreased at 18 R sub E. All these observations are consistent with the substorm associated release of a plasmoid at a neutral line near 20 R sub E.

    Mapping high-latitude plasma convection with coherent HF radars (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Several methods developed for mapping high-latitude plasma convection with a high-latitude HF radar are described, which utilize coherent backscatter from electron density irregularities at F-region altitudes to observe convective plasma motion. Several examples of two-dimensional convection-velocity maps are presented, showing instances of L-shell-aligned flow in the dusk sector, the reversal of convection near magnetic midnight, and counterstreaming in the dayside cleft.

    Tracer versus trace element diffusion - Diffusional decoupling of Sr concentration from Sr isotope composition (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Chemical diffusivities for nonalkali major, minor, and selected trace elements have been measured at 10 kbar, 1300 C during interdiffusion of dacitic and rhyolitic melts. Sr tracer diffusivities were measured at the same conditions in melts of dacitic and rhyolitic composition and in a diffusion couple of these two melts undergoing simultaneous chemical diffusion. Chemical diffusivities of all elements studied are functions of the silica content of the melt, but at any one silica content the chemical diffusivities of all elements studied are within a factor of five of the Si and Al diffusivities. Si diffusivity varies from 2.8 x 10 to the -9th sq cm/s at 65 percent SiO2 to 5.1 x 10 to the -10th sq cm/s at 75 percent SiO2. The diffusivities of minor and trace elements are proposed to be controlled by the ability of the local melt structure to accommodate these elements while maintaining LTE. The measured Sr tracer diffusivities are an order of magnitude above Sr chemical diffusivities.
