Ionospheric and magnetospheric processes. Final report, 28 Feb 86-28 Feb 91
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6193404
Results of a five-year study of a variety of kinetic plasma processes in the ionosphere and magnetosphere are described. Specific topics discussed in detail include: (1) The formation of ion conics due to electromagnetic ion cyclotron and/or lower hybrid turbulence. (2) Auroral beam-plasma interactions and VLF turbulence, (3) Heating of charged particles in the ionosphere and magnetosphere due to strong plasma turbulence, (4) Formation of counterstreaming electron distributions along auroral field lines, and (5) Double layer formation along discrete auroral field lines. A complete listing of published papers and books during the years 1986-1991 are also included. Particle Acceleration by electromagnetic ion cyclotron turbulence; Particle acceleration by intense auroral VLF turbulence; Equatorially generated ULF waves as a source for the turbulence associated with ion conics and a 3D model of double layer formation on auroral field lines are described.
