Thin and Thick Magnetopause Crossings on 30 March, 2002 50 km 500 km 2000 km
Thin Magnetopause Structure 30 March 2002, 13:11:40 - 13:11:55 MP normal frame: N M L BL, [nT] BM, [nT] BN, [nT] BT, [nT] J, [nA] EN,[mV/m] N, [cc-3] Length, [km]
Magnetopause thickness wave type: LHD waves ?
Thick Magnetopause Structure 30 March 2002, 13:27:30 - 13:30:00 termal anisotropy
Source of Thermal Anisotropy Langmuir waves are excited by the new coming protons whose charge is not compensated yet
Thermal Anisotropy Produced Ion-Cyclotron Waves N M L
Wave Length Calculation λ~500km propagated antiparallel to B (in accordance with anisotropy IC waves theory)
IC Waves – More Probable! wave type: lower hybrid waves ion-cyclotron waves
Drift and Anisotropy Wave Properties kdrift - compressional N M kanisotropic- transverse grad(n) L grad(B)
