• Characteristics of the flank magnetopause: Cluster observations 

      Haaland, Stein; Reistad, Jone Peter; Tenfjord, Paul; Gjerloev, Jesper W.; Maes, Lukas; deKeyser, Johan; Maggiolo, Romain; Anekallu, Chrandrasehkar; Dorville, Nicolas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11)
      The magnetopause is a current sheet forming the boundary between the geomagnetic field on one side and the shocked solar wind on the other side. This paper discusses properties of the low-latitude dawn and dusk flanks of ...
    • Dynamic effects of restoring footpoint symmetry on closed magnetic field lines 

      Reistad, Jone Peter; Østgaard, Nikolai; Tenfjord, Paul; Laundal, Karl Magnus; Snekvik, Kristian; Haaland, Stein; Milan, Steve; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Frey, H. U.; Grokott, A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05-05)
      Here we present an event where simultaneous global imaging of the aurora from both hemispheres reveals a large longitudinal shift of the nightside aurora of about 3 h, being the largest relative shift reported on from ...
    • Energetic electron precipitation in weak to moderate corotating interaction region-driven storms 

      Ødegaard, Linn-Kristine Glesnes; Tyssøy, Hilde Nesse; Søraas, Finn; Stadnes, Johan; Sandanger, Marit Irene (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)
      High-energy electron precipitation from the radiation belts can penetrate deep into the mesosphere and increase the production rate of NOx and HOx, which in turn will reduce ozone in catalytic processes. The mechanisms for ...
    • GPS scintillation and irregularities at the front of an ionization tongue in the nightside polar ionosphere 

      van der Meeren, Christer; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Moen, Jøran Idar; Romano, Vincenzo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10)
      In this paper we study a tongue of ionization (TOI) on 31 October 2011 which stretched across the polar cap from the Canadian dayside sector to Svalbard in the nightside ionosphere. The TOI front arrived over Svalbard ...
    • Modeling the relativistic runaway electron avalanche and the feedback mechanism with GEANT4 

      Skeltved, Alexander Broberg; Østgaard, Nikolai; Gjesteland, Thomas; Celestin, Sebastien; Carlson, Brant Edward (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11)
      This paper presents the first study that uses the GEometry ANd Tracking 4 (GEANT4) toolkit to do quantitative comparisons with other modeling results related to the production of terrestrial gamma ray flashes and high-energy ...
    • Scintillation and irregularities from the nightside part of a Sun-aligned polar cap arc 

      van der Meeren, Christer; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Paxton, Larry J.; Clausen, Lasse Boy Novock (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06-18)
      In this paper we study the presence of irregularities and scintillation in relation to the nightside part of a long-lived, Sun-aligned transpolar arc on 15 January 2015. The arc was observed in DMSP UV and particle data ...
    • Severe and localized GNSS scintillation at the poleward edge of the nightside auroral oval during intense substorm aurora 

      van der Meeren, Christer; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Rietveld, Michael T.; Clausen, Lasse Boy Novock (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12)
      In this paper we study how GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo navigation signals are compromised by strong irregularities causing severe phase scintillation (σϕ>1) in the nightside high-latitude ionosphere during a substorm on 3 ...
    • What is the appropriate coordinate system for magnetometer data when analyzing ionospheric currents? 

      Laundal, Karl Magnus; Gjerløv, Jesper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10)
      In this paper we investigate which coordinate representation is most appropriate when analyzing ground magnetometer data in terms of ionospheric currents, in particular the westward electrojet. The AL and the recently ...
