ISSI International Team 89
The aim of the study is to define how wave field measurements on board magnetospheric satellites may be used to trace Wave Particle Interactions (WPI) involved in magnetosphere / ionosphere / atmosphere couplings. The emphasis will be put on:
(i) emissions
associated
with electrons precipitated from the radiation belts as a result of
resonance
interactions taking place within the plasmasphere,
(ii) emissions which could
be generated by runaway electrons associated with Transient Luminous
Events.
Emerging ideas will be tested from existing models and available
satellite
data. Results may be
used to trigger specific observational programmes of the
CNES micro satellite DEMETER (in orbit since July 2004) and to prepare
the
mission of CNES micro satellite project TARANIS
(in phase A from January 2005
to June 2006).
