    Scientific requirements for space science data systems (1991)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: In the 1990's space plasma physics studies will increasingly involve correlative analysis of observations from multiple instruments and multiple spacecraft. The solar terrestrial physics missions in the 1990's will be designed around simultaneous observations from spacecraft monitoring the solar wind, the polar magnetosphere and the near and distant magnetotail. Within these regions, clusters of spacecraft flying in formation will increasingly involve comparative magnetospheric studies. No single lab will have the expertise to process and analyze all of the different types of data so the data repositories will be distributed. Catalog and browse systems will be required to help select events for study. Data compression techniques may be useful in designing the data bases used for selecting events for study. Data compression onboard the spacecraft will be necessary, since instrument data rates will be much larger than available telemetry rates. However, considerable care will be necessary to avoid losing valuable data when applying data compression algorithms.

    Modeling Magnetospheric Sources (2001)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-10
    Description: We have used global magnetohydrodynamic, simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and magnetosphere together with single particle trajectory calculations to investigate the sources of plasma entering the magnetosphere. In all of our calculations solar wind plasma primarily enters the magnetosphere when the field line on which it is convecting reconnects. When the interplanetary magnetic field has a northward component the reconnection is in the polar cusp region. In the simulations plasma in the low latitude boundary layer (LLBL) can be on either open or closed field lines. Open field lines occur when the high latitude reconnection occurs in only one cusp. In the MHD calculations the ionosphere does not contribute significantly to the LLBL for northward IMF. The particle trajectory calculations show that ions preferentially enter in the cusp region where they can be accelerated by non-adiabatic motion across the high latitude electric field. For southward IMF in the MHD simulations the plasma in the middle and inner magnetosphere comes from the inner (ionospheric) boundary of the simulation. Solar wind plasma on open field lines is confined to high latitudes and exits the tailward boundary of the simulation without reaching the plasma sheet. The LLBL is populated by both ionospheric and solar wind plasma. When the particle trajectories are included solar wind ions can enter the middle magnetosphere. We have used both the MHD simulations and the particle calculations to estimate source rates for the magnetosphere which are consistent with those inferred from observations.
