Magnetospheric Structure and Dynamics: A Multisatellite Approach

Abstract

This contract focused on five areas of scientific investigation in which significant progress was made during the life of the contract; electrostatic electronic cyclotron harmonic emissions observed by CRRES: tile implications of cross tail plasma gradients on the structure of the auroral zone, plasma distributions in the topside ionosphere; waves and fluctuations seen in the cusp; and ion cyclotron wave group delays.
