Experimental study of the formation of inverted-V structures and their stratification using AUREOL-3 observations
Multiple inverted-V structures are commonly observed on the same auroral zone crossing by a lowaltitude orbiting satellite. Such structures appear grouped and apparently result from an ionospheric and/or magne...

Latitudinal distribution of the solar wind properties in the low- and high-pressure regimes: Wind observations
The solar wind properties depend on λ, the heliomagnetic latitude with respect to the heliospheric current sheet (HCS), more than on the heliographic latitude. We analyse the wind properties observed by Wind a...

Stationary magnetospheric convection on November 24, 1981. 2.Small-scale structures in the dayside cusp/cleft
A case study of the dayside cusp/cleft region during an interval of stationary magnetospheric convection (SMC) on November, 24, 1981 is presented, based on detailed measurements made by the AUREOL-3 satellite....

Stationary magnetospheric convection on November 24, 1981. 1. A case study of “pressure gradient/minimum-B” auroral arc generation
We present two case studies in the night and evening sides of the auroral oval, based on plasma and field measurements made at low altitudes by the AUREOL-3 satellite, during a long period of stationary magnet...

WIND observations of coherent electrostatic waves in the solar wind
The time domain sampler (TDS) experiment on WIND measures electric and magnetic wave forms with a sampling rate which reaches 120 000 points per second. We analyse here observations made in the solar wind near...

The Electrodynamic Signature of Short Scale Field Aligned Currents, and Associated Turbulence in the Cusp and Dayside Auroral Zone
The analysis of the electrodynamic characteristics of a crossing of the southern cusp and dayside auroral zone at an altitude of about 1000km by the AUREOL-3 satellite is conducted from a data set including th...

Study of alpha component dynamics in the solar wind using the Prognoz satellite
The analysis of solar wind He++ and H+ ion distribution functions, collected over five months by the satellite Prognoz 1, shows that these are in general maxwellian but that often “tails” appear at higher speeds....

Energetic properties of interplanetary plasma at the earth's orbit following the August 4, 1972 flare
Solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data were obtained by the PROGNOZ 1 and PROGNOZ 2 satellites during the period following the August 4, 1972 (06∶21 UT) solar flare. A thermalized plasma was recorde...
