Towards Modeling the Magnetospheric Space Plasma Environment

Abstract

The research described in this report was focused into three related areas: (a) A study of nonadiabatic particle orbits and the electrodynamic structure of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere arc system. (b) An examination of electron acceleration and pitch angle scattering due to wave-particle interaction in the ionosphere and radiation belts. (c) A study of ionospheric modification research and the experimental results of Oedipus C satellite.
