Magnetospheric convection and magnetopause shadowing effects in ULF wave‐driven energetic electron transport
Download2013
Murphy, Kyle, Degeling, Alex W., Rankin, Robert, Rae, I. Johnathan
Magnetospheric radiation belt electron transport in the presence of ULF waves and a convection electric field is investigated using a model that includes a nightside plasma sheet source and electron losses by magnetopause shadowing. Narrow-band ULF waves launched from a prescribed dayside...

Shear Alfvén waves on stretched magnetic field lines near midnight in Earth's magnetosphere
Download2000
Tikhonchuk, Vladimir T., Rankin, Robert, Fenrich, Frances
The spectrum of toroidal standing shear Alfvén waves (SAWs) is derived for a stretched magnetic field line geometry that is approximated by the Tsyganenko 96 magnetic field model. The model is applied to field lines near the midnight meridional plane. It is demonstrated that the fundamental mode...
