The IMAGE Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUV) provides our first global images of the plasmasphere by imaging the distribution of He+ in its 30.4-nm resonance line. The images reveal the details of a highly structured and dynamic entity. Comparing EUV images and selected in-situ observations has helped to validate the remote sensing measurements. The brightness in the EUV images is heavily weighted by the He+ density near the plane of the magnetic equator, but two lines of evidence emphasize that the features seen by EUV extend far from the equator, and in at least some cases reach the ionosphere. Certain features and behaviors, including shoulders, channels, notches, and plasma erosion events, appear frequently in the EUV images. These are keys to understanding the ways that electric fields in the inner magnetosphere affect the large and meso-scale distribution of plasma, and their study can elucidate the mechanisms by which the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field couple to the inner magnetosphere. 相似文献

With the advent of modern global networks of dual-frequency Global Positioning System (GPS), total electron content (TEC) measurements along slant paths connecting GPS receivers and satellites at 22,000 km have become the largest data set available to ionospheric scientists. The TEC can be calculated from the time and phase delay in the GPS signal using the GPS Toolkit, but an unknown bias will remain. In addition, UHF/VHF radio beacons on board low-Earth-orbiting satellites can also be used to measure the electron content. However, the TEC measurements are obtained by integrating TEC differences between slant paths, but also contain biases. It is often necessary to use data assimilative algorithms like the Ionospheric Data Assimilation Three-Dimensional (IDA3D), and to treat both GPS- and LEO-beacon TEC measurements as relative data in order to conduct ionospheric studies. 相似文献
