ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere and their Association with Magnetopause Instabilities and Oscillations
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis addresses the question of excitation of ULF waves by magnetopause instabilities and oscillations. Given proper spacecraft orientations and near magnetopause encounters, the CLUSTER spacecraft mission is used to resolve the space-time ambiguity inherent in a single spacecraft...

Ultra Low Frequency Waves and their Association with Magnetic Substorms and Expansion Phase Onset
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis concerns the study of Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) waves during magnetospheric substorms. A wavelet algorithm which characterises magnetic ULF waves during substorm onset is presented. The algorithm is validated by comparing the spatial and temporal location of ULF wave onset to...
