Between-196°C to about 260°C, both saturation isothermal remanence (Mrs) and coercive force (Hc) can be represented as analytical functions of particle size (L) of the form (Mrs, Hc) ∝ L-n or (Mrs, Hc) ∝ exp(-kL1+2) although the particle size dependence of Mrs is much weaker than that of Hc. The parameters n and k show a small but systematic fall in values as temperature rises, but may be acceptably constant to furnish analytic functions for physical models of more complex magnetic properties such as thermoremanent magnetization or domain dynamics. The temperature dependence of Hc below room temperature is weaker than that above, possibly due to an increasing single-ion contribution to magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The inferred temperature dependence of magnetocrystalline anisotropy above room temperature up to about 250°C suggests that temperature-induced expulsion or nucleation of domain walls is not expected in this temperature range. The temperature dependence of Mrs and Hc can be expressed as (1 - T/Tc)q where q shows a small but systematic fall as particle size increases in the range 1-30μm.

The single basis functions are called elementary current systems. One basis function set is curl-free and poloidal, and causes a toroidal magnetic field that is restricted to the area above the ionosphere. The other one is divergence-free and toroidal, and causes a poloidal magnetic field which is solely responsible for the magnetic effect of ionospheric currents below the ionosphere. The field-aligned currents are assumed to flow radially. The expansion presented is used on a model of a Cowling channel to decompose its Hall and Pedersen currents into their total divergence-free and curl-free parts. This application example shows how the analysis technique based on the elementary current expansion resolves the physically relevant primary and secondary currents inside the Cowling channel.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123182503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such hot plasma population is called the hot plasma torus (HPT). To study dynamics and polarization of the HPT in the magnetosphere, we perform the two-dimensional numerical simulations which is capable of treating the electrostatic coupling between the magnetosphere and the ionosphere. The simulation results show that distortion of the HPT occurs due to the solar wind convection when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is southward, so that the polarization of the distorted HPT produces a pair of the region and region 2 field-aligned currents (FACs) which agrees with the observations. It is also shown that the self-distortion of the HPT (positive feedback) is possible; namely, the HPT is further polarized by electric fields arising from the polarized HPT, which leads to intensification of the region 1/region 2 FACs. Notably, in our model the disruption of a tail current is a natural result of the HPT distortion on the nightside, which can explain the observations that the tail current disruption occurs over a wide MLT range and well inside the magnetically closed region.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129364400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous work has shown that these distortions can sometimes, but not always, be described by an electric field galvanic distortion model, and hence can be removed using a tensor decomposition approach. This work extends the analysis to include galvanic distortion of the magnetic field, and shows its importance for many of the BC87 sites. However, even a combined electric and magnetic field galvanic distortion approach fails for quite a few of the sites studied. This is pervasive for periods shorter than 10 s, suggesting local 3D inductive effects, but model inadequacy at longer periods may indicate a breakdown of the model assumptions, particularly the requirement that the regional electric field be both uniform across the distorting body and comparable to that at the observation point.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126000267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The average strike direction for the entire region and for all periods is estimated to be approximately N60W. In the rotated frame skew is small everywhere, but ellipticity values remain quite large at some sites, which raises some uncertainty about the assumption of two-dimensionality. Since the data also indicate the presence of local galvanic distortion, a static shift correction has been applied; both the original (rotated) data and the static-shift corrected data have been used to generate 'least-blocked' models. The final models for the two data sets are found to resemble each other quite closely. Both reveal a descending conductive layer beneath a resistive limestone cover of thickness 0.6-0.8 km on southwestern side of the profile increasing to around 2.1-2.4 km on the northeastern side. The one notable difference is that the descending conductive layer divides into two parts separated by a resistive limestone layer in the model obtained from static-shift corrected data, but not in the other.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130994177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
