Title: A comparison of ULF fluctuations in the solar wind, magnetosheath, and dayside magnetosphere. I - Magnetosheath morphology. II - Field and plasma conditions in the magnetosheath
Abstract: Simultaneous data from ISEE 1 and 2 in the upstream solar wind, from AMPTE IRM in the subsolar magnetosheath, and from AMPTE CCE in the dayside magnetosphere are used to investigate the properties of the magnetosheath responsible for the transmission into the magnetosphere the ULF waves generated in the solar wind upstream of a quasi-parallel bow shock. The data are used to characterize the magnetosheath both during the periods when azimuthally polarized resonant harmonic ULF magnetic pulsations were observed in the dayside outer maagnetosphere, and when they were not. In addition, a detailed analysis is carried out of magnetic field and plasma conditions in the subsolar magnetosheath during these and other periods.
