Pure Interchange Oscillations of Thin Filaments in an Average Magnetosphere
F. R. Toffoletto, R. A. Wolf, J. Derr
This paper describes magnetospheric waves of very long wavelength in thin magnetic filaments. We consider an average magnetospheric configuration with zero ionospheric conductance…

Shear flow-interchange instability in nightside magnetotail causes auroral beads as a signature of substorm onset
Jason Derr, Wendell Horton, Richard Wolf
A geometric wedge model of the near-earth nightside plasma sheet is used to derive a wave equation for low frequency shear flow-interchange waves which transmit $\vec{E} \times \ve…
