Comparison of Simultaneous Ground-Satellite Observations of Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves

该补助金为利用以下技术的研究提供支持： 超低频同步观测 电磁离子回旋（EMIC）波的仪器位于 在北极，南极和卫星轨道内， 地球的磁层。 这些脉动的频率 在0.1和5 Hz之间。 地面仪器是（或曾经是） 在格陵兰岛的Sondre Stromfjord，芬兰磁强计链， 和南极站，西普尔，南极，麦克默多，凯西， 莫森和麦夸里岛。 将使用的卫星是 主动磁层粒子示踪探测器 Composition Explorer）和维京海盗（瑞典语）。 的最终目标 本文的研究目的是为了提高未来地面交通的利用率， 作为诊断工具来推断 EMIC源区的磁层过程。

This grant provides support for research which will make use of simultaneous observations of ultra low frequency (ULF) electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves by instruments located in the Arctic, the Antarctic and on satellites orbiting within the Earth's magnetosphere. These pulsations have frequencies of between 0.1 and 5 Hz. The ground-based instruments are (or were) in Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland, the Finnish magnetometer chain, and the Antarctic stations, Siple, South Pole, McMurdo, Casey, Mawson and MacQuarie Island. The satellites to be used are the AMPTE (Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers/CCE (Charge- Composition Explorer) and Viking (Swedish). The eventual goal of this correlative study is to enhance the utility of future ground- based observations to be used as a diagnostic tool to infer magnetospheric processes in the EMIC source region.
