• Influence of Off-Sun-Earth Line Distance on the Accuracy of L1 Solar Wind Monitoring 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Carter, J.A.; Bower, G.E.; Fleetham, A.L.; Anderson, B.J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Upstream solar wind measurements from near the L1 Lagrangian point are commonly used to investigate solar wind-magnetosphere coupling. The off-Sun-Earth line distance of such solar wind monitors can be large, up to 100 RE. ...
    • Lobe Reconnection and Cusp-Aligned Auroral Arcs 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Bower, G.E.; Carter, J.A.; Paxton, L.J.; Anderson, B.J.; Hairston, M.R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Following the St. Patrick's Day (17 March) geomagnetic storm of 2013, the interplanetary magnetic field had near-zero clock angle for almost two days. Throughout this period multiple cusp-aligned auroral arcs formed in the ...
    • Occurrence Statistics of Horse Collar Aurora 

      Bower, G.E.; Milan, Stephen Eric; Paxton, L.J.; Anderson, B.J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Horse collar aurora (HCA) are an auroral feature where the dawn and dusk sector auroral oval moves polewards and the polar cap becomes teardrop shaped. They form during prolonged periods of northward interplanetary magnetic ...
    • Statistical Analysis of Bifurcating Region 2 Field-Aligned Currents Using AMPERE 

      Sangha, H.K.; Milan, Stephen Eric; Anderson, B.J.; Korth, H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      We present a statistical analysis of the occurrence of bifurcations of the Region 2 (R2) Field-Aligned Current (FAC) region, observed by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE). ...
