Evidence of small-scale field aligned current sheets from the low and middle altitude cusp continuing in the ionosphere
Tatjana Zivkovic, Stephan Buchert, Hermann Opgenoorth +2
We investigate kilometer-scale field-aligned currents that were detected both in the magnetospheric cusp at a few Earth radii altitude and in the ionosphere by satellites that were…

Burst statistics of fluctuations in a simple magnetized torus configuration
K. Rypdal, T. Zivkovic, L. Oestvand
In a toroidal plasma confined by a purely toroidal magnetic field the plasma transport is governed by electrostatic turbulence driven by the flute interchange instability on the lo…
