A new method is described to analyze the dimensional character of observed structures using multipoint magnetic field measurements four or more spacecraft. The technique can provide three directions along which has minimum, intermediate, and maximum derivatives if gradient tensor G = ∇ at every moment been estimated by measurements. It follows that structure's dimensionality variation direction be directly determined. Both Cluster observations simulations have shown it feasible obtain...

The interaction between interplanetary shocks and the Earth's magnetosphere manifests in many important space physics phenomena including particle acceleration. We investigated response of inner magnetospheric hydrogen oxygen ions to a strong shock impinging on magnetosphere. Both are found be heated/accelerated significantly with their temperature enhanced by factor two three immediately after ∼1 min ∼12 arrival respectively. Multiple energy dispersion signatures were parallel anti‐parallel...

We present Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) observations a “Spontaneous Hot Flow Anomaly” (SHFA) upstream from the prenoon bow shock at 0431 UT on 12 August 2007. Although SHFA exhibited greatly heated deflected solar wind plasmas used to identify hot flow anomalies (HFAs), it did not result standard mechanism invoked for formation HFAs, namely interaction an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) discontinuity with shock. employ THEMIS A, B, C, D...

Energetic found to be confined smaller spatial region than inside the plasmoid. seem good indicator for structure boundary. fleet of Cluster spacecraft cross “first entry, last out” order (Note: when planar discontinuity, e.g. magnetopause, they will first order).

When a solar wind dynamic pressure impulse impinges on the magnetophere, ultra‐low‐frequency (ULF) waves can be excited in magnetosphere and energy transported from interplanetary space into inner magnetosphere. In this paper, we have systematically studied ULF at geosynchronous orbit by both positive negative pulses. We identified 270 events pulses 254 1 January 2001 to 31 March 2009. found that poloidal toroidal oscillate similar manner of phase near 06:00 local time (LT) 18:00 LT, but...

An understanding of the transport solar wind plasma into and throughout terrestrial magnetosphere is crucial to space science weather. For non-active periods, there little agreement on where how entry might occur. Moreover, behaviour in high-latitude region behind magnetospheric cusps, for example, lobes, poorly understood, partly because lack coverage by previous missions. Here, using Cluster multi-spacecraft data, we report an unexpected discovery regions Earth's tailward cusps. From...

Abstract Motivated by recent THEMIS observations, this paper uses 2.5‐D electromagnetic hybrid simulations to investigate the formation of Spontaneous Hot Flow Anomalies (SHFAs) upstream quasi‐parallel bow shocks during steady solar wind conditions and in absence discontinuities. The results show a large number structures along shock. Their outer edges exhibit density magnetic field enhancements, while their cores drops density, field, velocity, enhancements ion temperature. Using virtual...

A series of seven hot flow anomaly (HFA) events has been observed by the Time History Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) C spacecraft just upstream from subsolar bow shock 0100 to 1300 UT on 19 August 2008. Both young (no shocks at edges, two distinct ion populations) mature (strong a single population) HFAs have observed. Further upstream, THEMIS B four proto‐HFAs (density magnetic field strength depletions, plasma heating but no deflections) which later developed...

Magnetic holes (MHs), with a scale much greater than \r{ho}i (proton gyroradius), have been widely reported in various regions of space plasmas. On the other hand, kinetic-size magnetic (KSMHs), previously called small size (SSMHs), order magnitude or less only Earth's magnetospheric plasma sheet. In this study, we report such KSMHs magnetosheath whereby use measurements from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, which provides three-dimensional (3D) particle distribution resolution...

Abstract We present in situ observations of a shock‐induced substorm‐like event on 13 April 2013 observed by the newly launched Van Allen twin probes. Substorm‐like electron injections with energy 30–500 keV were region from L ∼5.2 to 5.5 immediately after shock arrival (followed energetic drift echoes). Meanwhile, flux was clearly and strongly varying ULF wave time scale. It is found that both toroidal poloidal mode waves period 150 s emerged following magnetotail magnetic field...

Abstract Spacecraft observations and global hybrid (kinetic ions fluid electrons) simulations have demonstrated that ion dissipation processes at the quasi‐parallel bow shock are associated with formation of structures called spontaneous hot flow anomalies (SHFAs). Previous recent spacecraft also established SHFAs result in magnetosheath filamentary (MFS). In this paper we demonstrate addition to MFS, cavities decreases density, velocity, magnetic field enhancements temperature. We use...

Sudden impulses (SIs) are an important source of ultra low frequency (ULF) wave activity throughout the Earth's magnetosphere. Most SI‐induced ULF events have been reported in dayside magnetosphere; it is not clear when and how SIs drive nightside plasma sheet. We examined response sheet to using ensemble 13 SI observed by THEMIS (Timed History Events Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) satellites (probes). Only three these resulted activity. The periods waves found be 3.3, 6.0, 7.6...

Abstract Mirror‐mode structures are widely observed in space plasma environments. Although features within the have been extensively investigated theoretical models and numerical simulations, relatively few observational studies made, due to a lack of high‐cadence measurements particle distributions previous missions. In this work, electron dynamics associated with mirror‐mode studied based on Magnetospheric Multiscale observations pitch angle distributions. We define peaks/troughs as region...

Abstract Magnetic cavities (sometimes referred to as magnetic holes) at electron kinetic scale are thought be one of the extremely small intermittent structures formed in magnetized turbulent plasmas, where turbulence energy cascaded down may finally dissipated and consequently energize electrons. However, geometry formation these remain not definitively resolved. Here we discuss an cavity embedded a proton observed by MMS spacecraft magnetosheath. By applying innovative particle sounding...

Abstract Pc5 (2–7 mHz) ultralow frequency (ULF) waves play a significant role in resonating with particles and transferring energy the coupled magnetospheric ionospheric system. Recent studies found that ULF can be triggered by foreshock transients which perturb magnetopause through dynamic pressure variation. However, whether transient‐driven are geoeffective propagate globally is still poorly understood. In this study, we take advantage of conjunction between situ (by THEMIS probes,...
