New For Extended Mission

1) Second trip around the Earth – statistics2) Different phase of the solar cycle3) Different instrument operations4) Different orbital configuration5) Different constellation of satellite – LWS Great Observatory

Which of these are applicable to the science questions we want to answer?

What are the 3-dimensions structures and distributions of VLF and ULF waves within Earth’s inner magnetosphere, and what are the

effects those structures on the radiation belt and ring current populations? (dE, dB, k spatial coherence, spatial distributions,

ULF wave structures) ?

Science Presentations

• MHD modeling of electron drift-resonance observations.• Leave orbits as is.

• Statistical analysis of hiss wave spectrum from EMFISIS.• More data = better statistics for model.• MLT separation will allow for evolution of hiss wave spectrum.• Cubesats quantify hiss-driven electron loss.

• Hiss origination of chorus.• THEMIS/RBSP conjunctions. Radial alignment is critical (new orbits).• When/where/how often does this mechanism happen?

• Magnetosonic rarefaction wave. Coronitti and Kennel. • Use MMS to do detailed wave propagation study.• Use ULF wave modes to determine shock impact orientation.

• Azimuthal mode number can be measured • Requires s/c azimuthal separation – modify orbits? Reverse orbits?

• High frequency wave activity can drive low frequency activity.• Dayside vs Nightside profiles of E-field penetration depth and plasmasphere.• Bounce resonance with magnetosonic waves.
