Dayside transient phenomena and their impact on the magnetosphere and ionosphere

H Zhang, Q Zong, H Connor, P Delamere… - Space Science …, 2022 - Springer
Dayside transients, such as hot flow anomalies, foreshock bubbles, magnetosheath jets, flux
transfer events, and surface waves, are frequently observed upstream from the bow shock …

Kelvin Helmholtz instability in planetary magnetospheres

JR Johnson, S Wing, PA Delamere - Space Science Reviews, 2014 - Springer
Kelvin–Helmholtz instability plays a particularly important role in plasma transport at
magnetospheric boundaries because it can control the development of a turbulent boundary …

Substorm and magnetosphere characteristic scales inferred from the SuperMAG auroral electrojet indices

PT Newell, JW Gjerloev - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
A generalization of the traditional 12‐station auroral electrojet (AE) index to include more
than 100 magnetometer stations, SME, is an excellent predictor of global auroral power …

Single‐spacecraft detection of rolled‐up Kelvin‐Helmholtz vortices at the flank magnetopause

H Hasegawa, M Fujimoto, K Takagi… - Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Recent numerical simulations suggest that as soon as the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI)
has grown nonlinearly to form a highly rolled‐up vortex, plasma mixing is inevitably …

Information theoretical approach to discovering solar wind drivers of the outer radiation belt

S Wing, JR Johnson, E Camporeale… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The solar wind‐magnetosphere system is nonlinear. The solar wind drivers of
geosynchronous electrons with energy range of 1.8–3.5 MeV are investigated using mutual …

Imaging plasma density structures in the soft X-rays generated by solar wind charge exchange with neutrals

DG Sibeck, R Allen, H Aryan, D Bodewits… - Space Science …, 2018 - Springer
Both heliophysics and planetary physics seek to understand the complex nature of the solar
wind's interaction with solar system obstacles like Earth's magnetosphere, the ionospheres …

Spatial distributions of the ion to electron temperature ratio in the magnetosheath and plasma sheet

CP Wang, M Gkioulidou, LR Lyons… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We have used THEMIS measurements to determine how the ion and electron temperatures
and their ratio (Ti/Te) change spatially in the magnetosheath and plasma sheet and to …

Review of solar wind entry into and transport within the plasma sheet

S Wing, JR Johnson, CC Chaston, M Echim… - Space Science …, 2014 - Springer
The plasma sheet is populated in part by the solar wind plasma. Four solar entry
mechanisms are examined:(1) double cusp or double lobe reconnection,(2) Kelvin …
