Intermittent thermal plasma acceleration linked to sporadic motions of the magnetopause, first Cluster results

Intermittent thermal plasma acceleration linked to sporadic motions of the magnetopause, first Cluster results

This paper presents the first observations with Cluster of a very dense population of thermal ionospheric ions (H<sup>+</sup>, He<sup>+</sup>, O<sup>+</sup>) locally "accelerated" perpendicularly to the local magnetic field in a region ad...
