  • Theory, Modeling, and Integrated Studies in the Arase (ERG) Project
    Seki et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2018) 70:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-018-0785-9 FULL PAPER Open Access Theory, modeling, and integrated studies in the Arase (ERG) project Kanako Seki1* , Yoshizumi Miyoshi2, Yusuke Ebihara3, Yuto Katoh4, Takanobu Amano1, Shinji Saito5, Masafumi Shoji2, Aoi Nakamizo6, Kunihiro Keika1, Tomoaki Hori2, Shin’ya Nakano7, Shigeto Watanabe8, Kei Kamiya5, Naoko Takahashi1, Yoshiharu Omura3, Masahito Nose9, Mei‑Ching Fok10, Takashi Tanaka11, Akimasa Ieda2 and Akimasa Yoshikawa11 Abstract Understanding of underlying mechanisms of drastic variations of the near-Earth space (geospace) is one of the current focuses of the magnetospheric physics. The science target of the geospace research project Exploration of energiza‑ tion and Radiation in Geospace (ERG) is to understand the geospace variations with a focus on the relativistic electron acceleration and loss processes. In order to achieve the goal, the ERG project consists of the three parts: the Arase (ERG) satellite, ground-based observations, and theory/modeling/integrated studies. The role of theory/modeling/integrated studies part is to promote relevant theoretical and simulation studies as well as integrated data analysis to combine diferent kinds of observations and modeling. Here we provide technical reports on simulation and empirical models related to the ERG project together with their roles in the integrated studies of dynamic geospace variations. The simu‑ lation and empirical models covered include the radial difusion model of the radiation belt electrons, GEMSIS-RB and RBW models, CIMI model with global MHD simulation REPPU, GEMSIS-RC model, plasmasphere thermosphere model, self-consistent wave–particle interaction simulations (electron hybrid code and ion hybrid code), the ionospheric electric potential (GEMSIS-POT) model, and SuperDARN electric feld models with data assimilation.

  • Locations of Chorus Emissions Observed by the Polar Plasma Wave Instrument K

Sigsbee,1 J. D. Menietti,1 O. Santolík,2,3 and J. S. Pickett1 Received 18 June 2009; revised 20 November 2009; accepted 17 December 2009; published 8 June 2010. [1] We performed a statistical study of the locations of chorus emissions observed by the Polar spacecraft’s Plasma Wave Instrument (PWI) from March 1996 to September 1997, near the minimum of solar cycles 22/23. We examined how the occurrence of chorus emissions in the Polar PWI data set depends upon magnetic local time, magnetic latitude, L shell, and L*. The Polar PWI observed chorus most often over a range of magnetic local times extending from about 2100 MLT around to the dawn flank and into the dayside magnetosphere near 1500 MLT. Chorus was least likely to be observed near the dusk flank. On the dayside, near noon, the region in which Polar observed chorus extended to larger radial distances and higher latitudes than at other local times. Away from noon, the regions in which chorus occurred were more restricted in both radial and latitudinal extent. We found that for high‐latitude chorus near local noon, L* provides a more reasonable mapping to the equatorial plane than the standard L shell. Chorus was observed slightly more often when the magnitude of the solar wind magnetic field BSW was greater than 5 nT than it was for smaller interplanetary magnetic field strengths.

  • The Near-Earth Plasma Environment
    Space Sci Rev (2012) 168:23–112 DOI 10.1007/s11214-012-9872-6 The Near-Earth Plasma Environment Robert F. Pfaff Jr. Received: 1 March 2012 / Accepted: 3 March 2012 / Published online: 20 June 2012 © US Government 2012 Abstract An overview of the plasma environment near the earth is provided. We describe how the near-earth plasma is formed, including photo-ionization from solar photons and impact ionization at high latitudes from energetic particles. We review the fundamental characteristics of the earth’s plasma environment, with emphasis on the ionosphere and its interactions with the extended neutral atmosphere. Important processes that control iono- spheric physics at low, middle, and high latitudes are discussed. The general dynamics and morphology of the ionized gas at mid- and low-latitudes are described including electro- dynamic contributions from wind-driven dynamos, tides, and planetary-scale waves. The unique properties of the near-earth plasma and its associated currents at high latitudes are shown to depend on precipitating auroral charged particles and strong electric fields which map earthward from the magnetosphere. The upper atmosphere is shown to have profound effects on the transfer of energy and momentum between the high-latitude plasma and the neutral constituents. The article concludes with a discussion of how the near-earth plasma responds to magnetic storms associated with solar disturbances. Keywords Ionosphere · Upper atmosphere · Electric fields 1 Introduction In this article we discuss the near-earth plasma environment, for which the ionosphere is the natural focus. Because this ionized gas co-exists with the neutral atmospheric gas to which it is coupled, the ionized/neutral gas system is more properly considered a partially ionized gas rather than a medium consisting of two distinct, independent fluids.

After reviewing this progress, we critically examine the role of various generators of the currents flowing in the lower and upper atmosphere and supplying currents to the GEC. The role of aerosols and cosmic rays in controlling the GEC and linkage between climate, solar-terrestrial relationships and the GEC has been briefly discussed. Some unsolved problems in this area are reported for future investigations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - *Address for corrspondence Institute of Environmental Physics, University of Tartu, 18, Ulikooli Street Tartu-50090, Estonia e-mail; [email protected] [email protected] Fax +37 27 37 55 56 1 1.

Fontes3 1Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad 380009, India 2National Institute of Space Research, Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil 3Observatario Nacional – ON/MCT, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Abstract: The paper describes the characteristics of the equatorial electrojet at Huancayo (HUA, 12.1oS, 75.3oW, inclination 1.5oN, declination 1.0oE) in western side of South America, where the geomagnetic field is aligned almost along the geographic meridian, and at Itinga (ITI, 4.3oS, 47.0oW, inclination 1.4oN, declination 19.3oW) in eastern part of South America, where the geomagnetic field is aligned about 19o west of the geographic meridian; although the mean intensity of the magnetic field in the two regions are almost of the same order. Further comparisons are made of the current at Itinga and at Tatuoca (TTB, 1.2oS, 48.5oW, inclination 7.8o N, declination 18.7oW), a low latitude station in the same longitude sector. The daily range of horizontal component of the geomagnetic field, H, is shown to be almost 16% higher at HUA compared to that at ITI. The daily variation of the eastward field, Y, showed a strong minimum of -40 nT around 13-14 hr LT at ITI whereas very low values were observed at HUA with a positive peak of about 4 nT around 11- 12 hr LT.
