Pseudobreakups During January 10, 1997 (2004)

Arballo, J. K., Tsurutani, B. T., Zhou, X. Y., Lakhina, G. S., Ho, C. M., Kamide, Y., ...

The January 10, 1997 interplanetary pressure pulse (observed at 0053 UT at Wind) caused a dayside aurora, as seen in Polar Ultraviolet Imager (UVI) data, that propagates tailward and to lower L.

Origin of the Auroral Electric Field. (2002)

Kan,J. R., Akasofu,S. I.

A theory is presented to show that a pair of electric fields directed towards each other and perpendicular to the current sheet is inherent to electron current sheets in dynamic equilibrium. The...

Development of a Geomagnetic Storm Prediction Scheme. (2002)

Akasofu,S. I., Fry,C. F.

Since present geomagnetic storm prediction schemes rely entirely on statistical results, so that they can't provide quantitative information on the intensity of a geomagnetic storm caused by a...

A Study of the Relationship between Solar Activity and Interplanetary Field Variations. (2002)

Akasofu,S. I., Lee,L. C.

The origin of large values of the interplanetary magnetic field Bz component, the nature of the so-caled 'driver gas,' the origin of the high speed solar wind streams are the three major issues in...

Distributions of Aurora and Ionospheric Currents Observed Simultaneously on a Global Scale. (1998)

Craven,J. D., Kamide,Y., Frank,L. A., Akasofu,S. I., Sugiura,M.

The instantaneous spatial distribution of auroral emissions is observed with auroral imaging photometers on board the spacecraft Dynamics Explorer 1 (DE 1) as ground-based meridian chains of...

The Polar Ionosphere and Interplanetary Field. (1998)

Watkins, B. J., Akasofu, S. I.

The model ionosphere was developed that is coupled to a magnetospheric model for investigating time dependent behavior of the Polar F-region ionosphere in response to varying interplanetary magnetic...
