Fast and Slow Wind Earth Magnetic Field • Geomagnetic Poles • Horizontal component • Vertical component • Shell parameter • Footpoints • Curvature
Fast and Slow Wind Magnetic Indices • Measuring the variation of horizontal magnetic field • Dst index: low latitude, hourly, global network • Kp index: middle latitude (48° to 63°), 3-hour • AE index: high latitude (62° to 72°) within aurora zone, 1 minute, not global
Fast and Slow Wind Gyro-motion
Fast and Slow Wind Bounce Motion
Fast and Slow Wind Drift Motion: Gradient Drift
Fast and Slow Wind Drift Motion: Curvature Drift
Fast and Slow Wind Drift Motion: E drift • Ambipolar E X B drift
Fast and Slow Wind DPS relationship
Fast and Slow Wind Adiabatic Invariants • Periodic motion can be characterized by a conserved quantity under adiabatic condition: • General form I=∫pdq, p and q are generalized momentum and coordinate • 1. Magnetic moment invariant -- Gyromotion I = ∫pperdrg • 2. Bounce invariant I = ∫ppardspar • 3. Longitudinal drift invariant (L shell) I = ∫pdrdrdf
Fast and Slow Wind Magnetic Mirroring • Pitch angle • Mirror point • Loss cone
