This project will utilize data from the Geotail and Wind satellites to characterize the state of the Earth's plasma sheet during different geomagnetic conditions. It will examine the differences seen during periods of steady magnetospheric convection (SMC), magnetic substorms and magnetic storms. Additional data will be obtained from the Cluster satellite mission, in particular using the wide band plasma wave data and the electron drift (EDI) data. Additional data sets will include ground magnetometer data and geomagnetic indices as well as data from the ACE and WIND spacecraft specifying the conditions in the solar wind (interplanetary magnetic field and the solar wind speed and dynamic pressure).

该项目将利用Geotail和Wind卫星提供的数据，确定不同地磁条件下地球等离子体片的状态。 它将研究在稳定的磁层对流、磁亚暴和磁暴期间所看到的差异。 将从星团卫星使命获得更多的数据，特别是利用宽带等离子体波数据和电子漂移数据。 其他数据集将包括地面磁力计数据和地磁指数，以及ACE和WIND航天器提供的具体说明太阳风状况（行星际磁场和太阳风速度及动压）的数据。
