MAGNETOSPHERE MONITORING. “However, the low signal to noise ratio and the complex inversion process from the line-of-sight measurements to spatially resolved ion distributions still limits the imaging applications.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

RING CURRENTS. “As these are populations highly sensitive to processes occurring during space weather events, neutral atom imaging is becoming a new tool to monitor the state of the inner regions of the magnetosphere.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

LARGE SCALE PLASMA. “Recently, the NASA IMAGE mission with its onboard neutral atom imagers demonstrated that also the charge-exchange processes with the neutral geocorona and the charged ring current particles can be strong enough to produce enough signal to monitor the plasmaspheric and ring current dynamics in the inner magnetosphere.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

ENERGY INPUT. “As all magnetospheric activity is powered by energy input from the solar wind, detailed understanding of the energy transfer processes and mechanisms is a key challenge for space weather applications.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

SOLAR PLASMAS. “As the magnetospheric activity conditions are largely controlled by the stability properties of the cross-tail current sheet, and as the magnetotail current sheet shares many of the properties of dynamically important current sheets found e.g. in the solar plasmas, the dynamics of the cross-tail current has been intensively studied in recent years.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

BOILING WITH ACTIVITY. “As this is the region which feeds the inner magnetosphere with both plasma, energetic particles, and magnetic flux, the plasma sheet dynamics is crucially important for space weather applications.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

EXPANDED SCALE. “While such bursts of fast flow can be observed during all magnetospheric activity conditions, they become more numerous, more intense, and have larger scale sizes during magnetically active conditions.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

MAGNETOTAIL PLASMA SHEET. “These flows are most likely created by localized reconnection events initiated either by internal tail processes or by external driving conditions https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

PURE ENERGY. “The magnetotail plasma sheet is a highly dynamic and structured region. Plasma flows in this region are not laminar, and during most times the net Earthward plasma flow imposed by the large-scale convection pattern is composed of short-lived (1–10 min) bursts of fast flow while the ambient plasma velocity distribution is very nearly isotropic.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
