Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5190518
Research topics considered include: ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling, high-latitude ionospheric turbulence, charged-particle acceleration and heating, nonclassical polar wind, double layers, magnetic reconnection, strong MHD turbulence, plasma radiations induced by moving conducting objects in the low-altitude ionosphere, and F-region subvisual polar arcs. Partial Contents: Transverse Acceleration and Heating of Ionospheric Ions and the Formation of Ion Conics: Transverse Heating of Ionospheric Ions along Auroval Field Lines by Intense Electromagnetic; Turbulence in the Ion-Cyclotron Range of Frequencies; Acceleration of Ionospheric Ions by Lower Hybrid Waves in the Boundary Plasma Sheet; Two-Dimensional Particle-in-Cell Plasma Simulation of High-Latitude Lower Hybrid Turbulence and Charged-Particle Acceleration; Ionospheric-Magnetosphere-Solar Wind Coupling Processes; Study of Detailed Particle Distribution and Pitch Angle Scattering in the Diffuse Aurora; A New Nonclassical Polar-Wind Theory; and Plasma Radiations in the Low-Altitude Ionosphere due to Moving Conducting Objects.
