Spatial Characteristics of Magnetic Field Fluctuation in the Magnetosheath


Yamashita, Y.


Abstract

 Fluctuation of magnetic field has been studied in the sunward magnetosheath from data obtained by IMP-C. The magnetic fluctuation is higher near subsolar point but tends to decrease with increasing distance from the point to the tail side.
  The dawn-dusk asymmetry of magnetic fluctuation that tends to be higher in the dawn side could be seen.
