Hydromagnetic waves driven by velocity shear instability in the magnetospheric boundary layer     

Kiyohumi Yumoto  Takao Saito 《Planetary and Space Science》1980,28(8):789-798

The bulk flow of the solar wind plasma in the flank-side of the magnetospheric boundary layer, where the magnetic field lines are closed, has a component transverse to the ambient field. There is quite a strong velocity shear. The theoretical model ignores inhomogeneities in the ambient field and the mass density which occur at the magnetopause on about the same length scale as that of the velocity shear.Consideration is restricted to hydromagnetic waves which have a k-vector nearly normal to the B_o-V_o plane, i.e., approximately the magnetopause surface (k_x >k_z ～ k_y′k_xL_B > 1 and L_B = 0.1 ～ 1.0 R_E where L_B is a characteristic length of the boundary layer). It is found that a long-period (T ? 40 sec) hydromagnetic wave [the Alfvén-like wave ($\text{Ω}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>A</mtext>}}$)] driven by velocity shear instability can be excited in the shear plasma. It is also found that the group velocity of the HM-wave is directed almost along the magnetic field line and that the magnetic variance in the shear plasma tends to be parallel to the B_o-V_o plane. The velocity shear instability in the magnetospheric boundary layer is judged to be a likely source of long-period magnetic pulsations.  相似文献   

The influence of a flow field on the stability of the force-free magnetic field     

《Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics》1982,6(3):181-185

In order to analyse the convective instability of the force-free magnetic field, an exact solution of the MHD equation for the magnetic field (1) together with the flow field (2) of constant speed V₀ making an angle θ with the magnetic field, was chosen as the unperturbed state. The stability of the fields between two parallel conducting walls of seperation d was studied by a linear perturbation method, which led to the eigenvalue problem (12), X being given by (13). It was shown by an approximate variational method that instability will set in by the flow field if V₀ is greater than 1/ $\text{3}$ times Alfven velocity V_A. For , the stability of the force-free field (1) is not influenced by the flow field, which may still be significant in other respects. Perturbations transverse to the magnetic field were found to be the most unstable modes.  相似文献   

A theoretical study of the ionospheric F region equatorial anomaly—I. Theory     

D.N. Anderson 《Planetary and Space Science》1973,21(3):409-419

When observed noontime values of the maximum electron density, NMAX(F2), in the ionospheric F2 region are plotted as a function of magnetic latitude, a curve is produced which has two peaks, one on either side of the dip equator at ± 16° dip latitude. This paper theoretically investigates the daily variation of this latitudinal distribution of NMAX(F2) (the so-called Appleton or equatorial anomaly) and specifically attempts to account for the longitudinal differences observed between the American and Asian sectors.Part I outlines the theory involved in solving the time-dependent plasma continuity equation in which production, loss, and transport of ionization are taken into account, where the effects of neutral wind, ambipolar diffusion and $\text{E}\text{×}\text{B}$ drift are included in the transport term. By describing the geomagnetic field in two equivalent ways, $\text{B}\text{= ? ▽γ}$ and $\text{B}\text{= ▽α × ▽β}$, where α, β and γ are known magnetic scalar potentials, the spherical r, θ and φ space coordinates of the continuity equation are transformed to coordinates which define directions parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field thus putting the equation in a form suitable for numerical integration.  相似文献   

Quantitative dependence of the polar cap electric field on the IMF B_z-component and solar wind velocity     

V.A. Sergeev  B.M. Kuznetsov 《Planetary and Space Science》1981,29(2):205-213

Ten years data set is used to separate the influence of IMF B_z-component and solar wind speed on the dawn-dusk component of magnetic variations in the summer polar cap. The reference level was chosen from most quiet periods of winter solstices (small polar cap and auroral zone conductivity) to exclude the inner source component. The linear regression analysis was then used to calculate the PC variation response to B_z under different ranges of solar wind speed. As a result, taking into account the value of polar cap conductivity and effects of induced currents, the response of dawn-dusk electric field component to B_z and V was obtained and the potential difference across the polar cap was estimated to be $\text{Δ?(}\text{kV}\text{) ≈ 6(}\text{V}\text{300}\text{)}{}^2\text{? 9B}{}_{\mathrm{z}}\text{(γ)}$ for B_z ? + 1γ. The results give a proof for simultaneous operation in the magnetosphere of two electric field generation mechanisms, related to the boundary layer processes and magnetic field reconnection. The above-mentioned functional form was shown to correlate effectively with AE index (R = 0.73).  相似文献   

Non-adiabatic processes in a two-fluid plasma and energization of the plasma sheet plasma     

A. Hru ka 《Planetary and Space Science》1981,29(12):1325-1332

The change of energy of a collisionless, two-fluid plasma consists of the adiabatic gain or loss of energy, which is due to the work done by the electromagnetic forces, and of the non-adiabatic change associated with the presence of the “rest” field $\text{E}{}^1\text{=}\text{E}\text{+ (}\text{1}\text{c}\text{)}\text{V}\text{×}\text{B}$. The non-adiabatic gain or loss of energy per unit ti may be expressed by the relation where i is the density of conductive current, N the ion number-density, and f (f?) the sum of inertia and pressure divergence of ions (electrons). Symbols of parallelism refer to the direction of B.A special case of non-adiabatic energization of a slowly convecting plasma sheet plasma is discussed in some detail. Regardless of the value of V, the non-adiabatic energization may significantly exceed any conceivable energization associated with the electric field $\text{?(}\text{1}\text{c}\text{)}\text{V}\text{×}\text{B}$.  相似文献   

Control of impulsive penetration of solar wind irregularities into the magnetosphere by the interplanetary magnetic field direction     

J. Lemaire  M.J. Rycroft  M. Roth 《Planetary and Space Science》1979,27(1):47-57

Impulsive penetration of a solar wind filament into the magnetosphere is possible when the plasma element has an excess momentum density with respect to the background medium. This first condition is satisfied when the density is larger inside than outside the plasma inhomogeneity. In this paper we discuss the second condition which must be satisfied for such a plasma element to be captured by the magnetosphere: the magnetization vector (M) carried by this plasma must have a positive component along the direction of B₀, the magnetic field where the element penetrates through the magnetopause. On the contrary, when $\text{M · B}{}_0\text{< 0}$, the filament is stopped at the surface of the magnetopause. Thus the outcome of the interaction of the filament with the magnetosphere depends upon the orientation of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field. For instance, penetration and capture in the frontside magnetosphere implies that B_sw, the Interplanetary Magnetic Field, has a southward, or a small northward, component. Penetration and capture in the northern lobe of the magnetotail is favoured for an IMF pointing away from the Sun; in the southern lobe B_sw must be directed towards the Sun for capture. Finally, for capture in the vicinity of the polar cusps the magnetospheric field (B₀) assumes a wider range of orientations. Therefore, near the neutral points, it is easier to find a place where the condition $\text{M · B}{}_0\text{> 0}$ is satisfied than elsewhere. As a consequence, the penetration and capture of solar wind irregularities in the cleft regions is possible for almost any orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field direction. All observations made to date support these theoretical conclusions.  相似文献   

Comment on the group velocity of surface waves on the plasma sheet boundary     

P. Nenovski 《Planetary and Space Science》1985,33(11):1313-1316

In the recent estimation by Maltsev and Lyatsky (1984) of the group velocity of surface waves on the inner boundary of the plasma sheet, the effect of the curvature of the field lines of the ambient magnetic field of the Earth on the spectrum has been assessed. The authors have not accounted for the fact, however, that the group velocity of the compressional surface magnetohydrodynamic waves itself is nonzero transverse to the magnetic field—a characteristic which has been omitted in the spectrum of Chen and Hasegawa (1974), being used by Maltsev and Lyatsky.This characteristic of compressional surface MHD waves is inherent for the spectrum $\text{ω = (}\text{k}{}_6\text{k}\text{)V}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(k}{}^2{}_6\text{+ 2k}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{\perp }}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$, obtained by Nenovski (1978) in the cold plasma limit V_A ? V_S(V_A is Alfvén velocity, and V_S, sound velocity). A comment has been made on the restrictions, proceeding from the approximation, used by Maltsev and Lyatsky. The estimation of the velocities for movements of auroral riometer absorption bays have been reviewed.  相似文献   

Low-frequency upstream wave as a probable source of low-latitude Pc 3–4 magnetic pulsations     

Kiyohumi Yumoto 《Planetary and Space Science》1985,33(2):239-249

Daytime Pc 3–4 pulsation activities observed at globally coordinated low-latitude stations [SGC (L = 1.8,λ = 118.0°W), EWA(1.15,158.1°W), ONW(1.3,141.5°E)] are evidently controlled by the cone angle θ_XB of the IMF observed at ISEE 3. Moreover, the Pc 3–4 frequencies ($\text{?}$) at the low latitudes and high latitude (COL; L = 5.6 and λ = 147.9°W) on the ground and that of compressional waves at geosynchronous orbit (GOES 2; L = 6.67 and λ = 106.7°W) are also correlated with the IMFmagnitude(B_IMF).The correlation of $\text{?}$ of the compressional Pc 3–4 waves at GOES 2 against B_IMF is higher than those of the Pc 3–4 pulsations at the globally coordinated ground stations, i.e., γ = 0.70 at GOES 2, and (0.36,0.60,0.66,0.54) at (COL, SGC, EWA, ONW), respectively. The standard deviation ($\text{σ}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{= ± Δ?}\text{mHz}$) of the observed frequencies from the form $\text{?}$ (mHz) = 6.0 × B_IMF (nT) is larger at the ground stations than at GOES 2, i.e., $\text{Δ? = ± 6.6}\text{mHz at}$GOES 2, and ±(13.9, 9.1, 10.7, 12.1) mHz at (COL, SGC, EWA, ONW), respectively. The correlations between the IMF magnitude B_IMF and Pc 3–4 frequencies at the low latitudes are higher than that at the high latitude on the ground, which can be interpreted by a “filtering action” of the magnetosphere for daytime Pc 3–4 magnetic pulsations. The scatter plots of pulsation frequency $\text{?}$ against the IMF magnitude B_IMF for the compressional Pc 3–4 waves at GOES 2 are restricted within the forms $\text{? = 4.5 × B}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>IMF</mtext>}}\text{and}\text{? = 7.5 × B}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>IMF</mtext>}}$. The frequency distribution is in excellent agreement with the speculation ($\text{<ω}{}_{\mathrm{sc}}\text{Ω}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{= 0.3 ～ 0.5}$) of the spacecraft frame frequency of the magnetosonic right-hand waves excited by the anomalous ion cyclotron resonance with reflected ion beams with V₆ = 650 ～ 1150 km s^?1 in the solar wind frame observed by the ISEE satellite in the Earth's foreshock. These observational results suggest that the magnetosonic right-handed waves excited by the reflected ion beams in the Earth's foreshock are convected through the magnetosheath to the magnetopause, transmitted into the magnetosphere without significant changes in spectra, and then couple with various HM waves in the Pc 3–4 frequency range at various locations in the magnetosphere.  相似文献   

Characteristics of localized resonance coupling oscillations of the slow magnetosonic wave in a non-uniform plasma     

Kiyohumi Yumoto 《Planetary and Space Science》1985,33(9):1029-1036

We analyze linear resonance oscillations in a non-uniform one-fluid finite-β plasma, which is oversimplified to understand easily fundamental characteristics of the resonance oscillations. A linear resonance oscillation of localized slow magnetosonic mode $\text{[ω}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{=}\text{ω}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(1 +}\text{V}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{V}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{)}\text{]}$, which has the diamagnetic property in a uniform plasma, is newly found to be excited in the radially non-uniform plasma. The localized slow resonance indicates a radially polarized compressional oscillation (δB_∥ ? δB_H ? δB_D). The sense of the Alfvénic polarizations in the H-D plane near the resonant point is a function of both the propagation in the azimuthal direction and the slope of wave amplitude in the radial direction, whereas the sense of the resonant slow magnetosonic polarizations changes in accordance only with the switch in the azimuthal propagation direction. Further multi-satellite studies are necessary to establish the resonant structures of the slow magnetosonic waves in the magnetosphere.  相似文献   

The orbit of the Dhajala meteorite     

G.M. Ballabh  A. Bhatnagar  Narendra Bhandari 《Icarus》1978,33(2):361-367

Observations of the trail caused by the meteorite which fell around Dhajala, Gujarat (India), on 28 January 1976 have been used to compute the probable orbit of the meteoroid in space. The cosmic ray effects in the meteorite fragments indicate high mass ablation (?90%), suggesting a high velocity (?20 km/sec) of entry into the Earth's atmosphere. The atmospheric trajectory is reasonably well documented and its deviation from the projected ground fallout can be understood in terms of the ambient wind pattern. The apparent radiant of the trail was at a point in the sky with right ascension 165°, declination +60°. Considering the errors in estimating the radiant, we get a range of orbits with a = 2.3 ± 0.8 AU, e = 0.6 ± 0.1, and i = 28 ± 4° with the constraints of a ? 1.5 AU and V_∞ < 25 km/sec (which causes nearly complete evaporation of the meteoroid). Taking V_∞ = 21.5 lm/sec as indicated by the measured mass ablation of the meteorite, the orbital elements are deduced to be $\text{a = 1.8}\text{AU}\text{, e = 0.59, i = 27°.6, ω = 109°.1, Ω = 307°.8,}\text{and}\text{q = 0.74}$.  相似文献   

Orientation and shape of the Earth's bow shock in three dimensions     

V. Formisano 《Planetary and Space Science》1979,27(9):1151-1161

Nearly 2500 shock crossings from HEOS-1, HEOS-2 and 5 IMP spacecraft, covering most of the northern and part of the southern bow shock surface for X values X > ? 20 R_E, have been used to carry out a detailed study of the three-dimensional shape and location of the bow shock. The influence of the different solar wind conditions has been reduced by normalising the observed crossings to an average solar wind dynamical pressure (N₀ = 9.4 cm^?3, V₀ = 450 kms^?1). It has been shown that the shock surface is symmetric with respect to the ecliptic plane and intersects the coordinate axes at 11.9 R_E (X), + 27.0 and ? 22.9 R_E (Y), + 23.9 and ? 24.5 R_E (Z) for the average dynamical pressure (N₀ = 9.4 cm^?3, V₀ = 450kms^?1, with $\text{M}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{= 9.3}$, $\text{M}{}_{\mathrm{MS}}\text{= 6.1)}$. The observed aberration of the shock surface is 8.9° ± 1°, i.e. 5.1° larger than the aberration predicted from the Earth's motion. This asymmetry around the solar wind apparent direction is described by equation (6) for different Mach numbers M_A and confirms the predictions of Walters [J. geophys. Res. 71, 1319 (1964)] and Michel [J. geophys. Res. 70, 1 (1965)].The magnetosheath thickness is 3.3 R_E along the X-axis, 11.4 R_E (+ Y), 8.7 R_E (? Y), 9.9 R_E (+Z) and 10.9 R_E along the negative Z axis.  相似文献   

Deuteron whistler and trans-equatorial propagation of the ion cyclotron whistler     

S. Watanabe  T. Ondoh 《Planetary and Space Science》1976,24(4):359-364

New ion cyclotron whistlers which have the asymptotic frequency of one half the local proton gyrofrequency, $\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{p}}\text{2}$, and the minimum (or equatorial) proton gyrofrequency, G_pm, along the geomagnetic field line passing through the satellite have been found in the low-latitude topside ionosphere from the spectrum analysis of ISIS VLF electric field data received at Kashima, Japan. Ion cyclotron whistlers with asymptotic frequency of G_pm or $\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{pm}}\text{2}$ are observed only in the region of $\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{m}}\text{>}\text{B}\text{2}$ or rarely $\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{m}}\text{>}\text{B}\text{4}$, where B is the local magnetic field and B_m is the mini magnetic field along the geomagnetic field line passing through the satellite.The particles with one half the proton gyrofrequency may be the deuteron or alpha particle. Theoretical spectrograms of the electron whistlers (R-mode) and the ion cyclotron whistlers (L-mode) propagating along the geomagnetic field lines are computed for the appropriate distributions of the electron density and the ionic composition, and compared with the observed spectrograms.The result shows that the ion cyclotron whistler with the asymptotic frequency of $\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{p}}\text{2}$ is the deuteron whistler, and that the ion cyclotron whistlers with the asymptotic frequency of G_pm or $\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{pm}}\text{2}$ are caused by the trans-equatorial propagation of the proton or deuteron whistler from the other hemisphere.  相似文献   

The roles of the north-south component of the interplanetary magnetic field on large-scale auroral dynamics observed by the DMSP satellite     

S.-I. Akasofu 《Planetary and Space Science》1975,23(10):1349-1354

An extensive study of DMSP photographs and the simultaneous interplanetary magnetic field data suggests that the quantity defined by has a fundamental importance in substorm processes, where Φ_D and Φ_N denote the production rate of merged (or open) field lines along the dayside X-line and of reconnected (or closed) field lines along the nightside X-line, respectively; t = 0 is measured from the time when the B_z component begins to decrease after a prolonged period of a large positive B_z value. It is shown, first of all, that substorms occur so long as S > 0, regardless of the sign of the B_z component and its changes (namely, the southward and northward turnings) and of its time derivative as well. Secondly, the intensity of substorms is proportional to S². By introducing the quantity S, the recent confusion of the problem of the roles of the north-south component of the interplanetary magnetic field on substorm processes can be removed.Since S is equal to the amount of the open magnetic fluxes at a time reckoned from t = 0, it is proportional to (A₁ ? A₀), where A₀ denotes the minimum polar cap area (namely, the area bounded by the minimum auroral oval) and A₁ the polar cap area at an arbitrary time t. Therefore, substorms can occur whenever the auroral oval is larger than its minimum size. Further, an intense substorm tends to occur along a large oval.The quantity S can also be considered as an excess flux, and thus the substorm can be considered as a process by which the magnetosphere tends to remove sporadically the excess energy associated with S.  相似文献   

Ring current simulation in connection with interplanetary space conditions     

Y.I. Feldstein  V.YU. Pisarsky  N.M. Rudneva  A. Grafe 《Planetary and Space Science》1984,32(8):975-984

A ring current model has been obtained which permits calculations ofD_st variations on the Earth's surface during magnetic storms. The changes in D_st are described by the equation where $\text{D}{}_{\mathrm{sto}}\text{= D}{}_{\mathrm{st}}\text{-bp}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{+~tc}$; p = mnv² is solar wind pressure; F(EM) is the function, controlled by the electromagnetic parameters of interplanetary medium, of injection into ring current ; τ is the constant of ring current decay. $\text{C}\text{= C}\text{u}\text{τ?=18}\text{nT}$, where C is the level of the D_st-variation field measurements; ? is the injection function characterizing the quasisteady-state injection of energy into the ring-current region. The constant Ç is determined from the condition that the change of the ring current energy from magnetic storm commencement to end should equal the difference between the injected and dissipated energy throughout the storm. The values of the factors b and τ were found by the method of minimizing the sum of the quadratic deviations of the calculated D_st from the values observed throughout the storm : b = 0.23 nT/(eV cm^?3)^{$\text{1}\text{2}$}, τ = 8.2 h at D_st? ? 55 nT and τ = 5.8 h at -120 ? D_st ? — 55 nT. The injection function F(EM) is of the form F(EM) = d(E_y? A) at the values of the azimuthal component of the solar wind electric field E_y ? A, and F(EM) =0 at A?E_y.d = ? 1.2 × 10^?3 Ts^?1 (mV/m)^?1 and A = ? 0.9 mV m^?1 . Thus, the injection to ring current is possible at the northward B_z component of the IMF.  相似文献   

Localized auroral disturbance in the morning sector of topside ionosphere as a standing electromagnetic wave     

E.M. Dubinin  P.L. Israelevich  N.S. Nikolaeva  I. Kutiev  I.M. Podgorny 《Planetary and Space Science》1985,33(6):597-606

An intense, localized auroral disturbance observed by Intercosmos-Bulgaria-1300 satellite in the morning sector at the altitude 850 km is analyzed in detail. The disturbance is characterized by strong “jumps” of electric and magnetic fields reaching ～ 80 mV/m and ～ 100 nT, fluctuations of ion density (Δn/n ～ 70%) and bursts of downward and upward energetic electron fluxes. Electric and magnetic disturbances display a distinct spatial-temporal relationship typical for the standing quasi-monochromatic wave ($\text{? ～ 1}\text{Hz}\text{, λ}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{～ 10}\text{km}$). The ratio of amplitudes of electric and magnetic fluctuations is equal to Alfvén velocity (ΔE/ΔB ～ v_A/c). However, a strong parallel component of the electric field (～ 30 mV/m) and large ion density fluctuations indicate significant changes of plasma properties (the effects of anomalous resistivity are possible).  相似文献   

The effect of a normal magnetic field component on current sheet stability     

J.E.M. Hamilton  J.W. Eastwood 《Planetary and Space Science》1982,30(3):293-305

A $\text{2}\text{2}\text{5}\text{-}\text{dimensional}$ particle-mesh computer model for the simulation of the current-sheet region of the geomagnetic tail is described. Important features are (a) the use of Fast Fourier techniques for the efficient solution of Ampere's equation, (b) the incorporation of sources and sinks of particles, (c) facilities for simulating finite width effects and (d) the option of including a normal magnetic field component linking through the sheet.Simulations carried out using this model indicate that current sheets with a non-zero normal magnetic field component and an infinite width are stable. The particles trace out Speiser-like orbits in such a case. Sheets with B_normal = 0 and a finite width are unstable with respect to the ion tearing-mode instability. However the presence of a normal magnetic field stabilises the system provided ρ₀<2L_y where ρ₀ is the characteristic length associated with the normal field and where L_y is the width of the sheet.On the basis of these results it is suggested that a geomagnetic substorm occurs when the normal magnetic field drops below the critical value needed for stability.  相似文献   

Generation of magnetic-field aligned currents,parallel electric fields,and inverted-V structures by plasma pressure inhomogeneities in the magnetosphere     

K. Stasiewicz 《Planetary and Space Science》1985,33(9):1037-1048

Magnetic-field aligned currents driven by plasma pressure inhomogeneities (plasma clouds) in the distant magnetosphere are analyzed quantitatively. A parallel potential drop is found to be established in the upward current region whenever a spatial scale D₀ for the pressure gradient in the equatorial magnetosphere is smaller than $\text{≈ 3g}{}_0\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{B}{}_0$, where g₀ is a hot electron gyroradius in the equatorial magnetic field B₀ (B_i denotes the magnetic induction in the ionosphere). A theoretical derivation is given for the experimentally observed linear relation T = AE_p + T₀ between the characteristic energy T of precipitating magnetospheric electrons and the peak energy E_p in inverted-V electron spectra. Three-dimensional potential structures accelerating electrons earthward are shown to be established beneath some model clouds which could correspond to a large scale inverted-V structure and to a thin (~ 1 km) auroral arc.  相似文献   

Parametric excitation of alfvén wave by magnetosonic wave with oblique propagation     

Kiyohumi Yumoto  Takao Saito 《Planetary and Space Science》1982,30(2):199-207

A parametric excitation of the Alfvén wave (k^A, ω_a) by the magnetosonic wave (K₁^fs, ω_1fs), which propagates obliquely to the static magnetic field, has been analyzed. The theoretical model for a one-fluid with uniform, unbounded, ideally conducting and compressible plasma is employed. The resonance conditions are chosen such as, $\text{k}{}_1{}^{\mathrm{fs}}\text{=}\text{k}{}_1{}^{\mathrm{fs}}\text{+}\text{k}{}^{\mathrm{A}}$ and ω_1fs ? ω_A = δ ～ ω_2fs. The p wave is assumed to be strong enough, so that the pump wave is given as a constant. In both the case of the standing and the propagating pump the growth rates of the excited waves depend on not only the pump power but also the β-ratio. In the standing pump the threshold pump intensity of the oscillating instability is zero at the perfect matching. It is found that we can obtain a larger growth rate of the parametric excitation of Alfvén wave by the fast magnetosonic pump wave for θ_1f ～ 70–80° and the occurrence regions of parametric excitations are localized at the resonance point in the magnetosphere (β ～ m_e/m_i). It is concluded that the parametric instability of Pc3 range HM-waves is the more possible theory than the linear resonance theory.  相似文献

The motion of charged particles is examined in the case of a homogeneous magnetic field B together with an orthogonal electric field E, which has a gradient ▽E parallel to E. If , the particles drift at right angles to E and B with a modified gyrofrequency and produce a current in that direction. If , the particles not only drift in the direction of E × B but are also accelerated in the direction of E, in which direction they also produce a current.  相似文献
