Plasma boundaries and shocks
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6572695
Data obtained on the ISEE-1 and -2 spacecraft missions has allowed a discussion of the various plasma and magnetic field boundaries in the terrestrial magnetosphere. The bow shock, foreshock, and interplanetary shocks are discussed along with the magnetosheath, magnetopause, and boundary layer. Also, after a section on reconnection, a section on the plasma and neutral sheets, polar cusp, and the injection of plasma into the inner magnetosphere is presented.
