  2. Sub-keV Ring Current? Traditional view of the ring current : > 5 keV only 2002-7-20 ions H+ He+ O+ Sub-keV Cavity Cluster (SC-1) CIS data over perigee traversal at noon

  3. However Example 1: wedge-like structure poleward eastward drift Viking 14 MLT westward drift eastward drift Cluster Perigee, 11 MLT

  4. Viking probability of event Motion and source 6 MLT 9 MLT 12 MLT 15 MLT 18 MLT Cluster Time-lag (hours) Backward Superposed Epoch Analyses using 700 traversals.

  5. Case study : 2001-10-21 event Substorm onset H+ O+ South North

  6. H+ O+ +0.1° 0° -0.1° Inter-SC time-of-flight (at 9.0 MLT) V(10 keV) = VE-VB << VE SC-4 10 keV 0.1 keV 23:40 UT 23:40 UT SC-4 @ 23:50 UT: Yes 23:50 UT SC-3 @ 23:40 UT: No H+ O+ V(0.1 keV) ~ VE 23:50 UT SC-3 ∆t < 13 min (100 eV/C-3 & 10 keV/C-4)  t < 30 min  drift distance = VE * t < 20000 km started at 7~9 MLT.

  7. Wedge-summary Wedge-like dispersed sub-keV ring current is a fossil of substorm activity (model is right!) by VExB ≥ VB-drift. It's source extends from midnight to morning (both statistics and case study) O+ source is different from H+ source

  8. Example 2: heating Viking , 8 MLT Cluster , 19 MLT ions H+ He+ O+ e- i+ heating? heating? No dispersion  not drifted  local energization Energy normally < 100 eV  observed all local time Only one extremely intense event over 5 years Cluster obs.

  15. Substorm-level disturbance simultaneous with heating Feature-4: DC field 06:48:30 UT = heating EY potential B SC separation up to 1 min:  temporal structure 0640 0645 0650 0655 already from 0643 UT

  18. strong ExB drift Feature-6: Precursor  (spin)

  19. // direction of drift: rotate  drift direction Y (duskward) X (sunward) - UxB (estimated E) direction

  20. and agree with DC E-field EX<0 0600 0620 0640 0700 EY>0 EY<0 ExB drift velocity = 25~35 km/s 3-6 eV for H+, 13-25 eV for He+, 50-100 eV for O+ 40 42 44 46 48 50

  21. Feature-7: Composition (1) From energy peak: plasmaspheric He+ rich //  Precursor (06:44 UT) Heating (06:49 UT) • = 0° • = 180° • = 360°  // H+ He+ O+ 18 eV 70 eV He+ O+ ratio=4: O+/He+ or He+/H+ 10 100 [eV] 10 100 [eV]

  22. Composition: Precursor part O+ He+ He+ becomes detection range only when |E| is strong.

  23. (2) TOF mass analyser: He+ rich Composition precursor heating H+ He++ He+ O+ contamination 0643 0644 0645 0646 0647 0648 0649

  24. (3) >100 keV: plasmaspheric He+ Composition precursor heating

  25. Feature-8: magnetospheric condition Not special (just a minor storm/substorm)

  26. Nothing special Feature-9 : ground conj. only 50 nT activity precursor heating

  27. Indications from data (heating): 1. Simultaneous at SC-1, 4 and -3 sudden activation 2. Bi-directional along B local hearing (not propagated) 3. Simultaneous wave with randomly changing Pointing flux direction even the wave is locally generated? 4. DC disturbance in B and E substorm-level activity? 5. Change in >5 keV large-scale configuration change 6. Precursor with cold ExB drift, no energization related ??? 7. Rich in He+ for cold, sub-keV and 100 keV component  plasmaspheric He+ is supplied well before the event? 8. Only minor magnetospheric activity Mystery !

  28. Summary Sub-keV part of dayside ring current is not empty! Wedge-like dispersed sub-keV ions (statistics + case study) Fossil of substorm with eastward by VExB > VB-drift Some are originated from morning sector O+ source is different from H+ source Heating (case study, unusual event, not well understood) Local heating at equatorial plane by sudden onset He+ rich Precursor with strong DC E-field (and E-B drift) Not clear ground signature, before substorm onset
