Plasma clouds in the magnetosphere

SDS. E. DeforestCMC. E. McIlwain

Key Points

  • The aim is to examine the injection of plasma clouds into the magnetosphere and their correlation with substorms.
  • Equatorial observations from the ATS-5 geostationary satellite
  • Monitoring charged particles on auroral lines of force
  • Analysis of plasma cloud dispersal by magnetic and electric fields
  • Frequent injection of plasma clouds corresponds with magnetospheric substorms
  • Dispersion of plasma clouds is influenced by Earth's magnetic and electric fields
  • Energy structures are generated from the interaction of plasma clouds with the magnetosphere

Abstract

Equatorial observations by the geostationary satellite ATS-5 of the charged particles on auroral lines of force reveal the frequent injection of plasma cloud?:, into the magnetosphere.These intrusions of hot plasma are found to have.a one to one correspondence with magnetospheric substorms,.The clouds are dispersed by the earth's magnetic and electric fields in a fashion which generates complicated energy structure.
