HAO COLLOQUIUM - LISTENING TO THE HELIOSPHERE: CITIZEN SCIENTIST PLASMA WAVE ANALYSIS

When:  Aug 24, 2022 from 14:00 to 15:00 (MT)
Associated with  Opportunities

Speaker: Michael Hartinger, Space Science Institute

Plasma waves transfer energy and affect particle dynamics throughout the heliosphere. For example, magnetospheric Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) plasma waves affect radiation belt dynamics through wave-particle interactions and modulation of higher frequency plasma waves. Classification schemes are needed to identify and model these waves and related wave-particle interactions, but existing classifications often break down during periods of intense geomagnetic activity or when there are superpositions of multiple wave modes.
