Zusammenfassung |
Bursty bulk flow associated magnetic fluctuations exhibit at least
three spectral scaling ranges in the Earth's plasma sheet. Two of
the three scaling ranges can be associated with multi-scale
magnetohydrodynamic turbulence between the spatial scales from
~100 km to several RE (RE is the Earth's radius). These
scales include the inertial range and below ~0.5 RE a
steepened scaling range, theoretically not fully understood yet. It
is shown that, in the near-Earth plasma sheet, the inertial range
can be robustly identified only if multi-scale quasi stationary
(MSQS) data intervals are selected. Multiple bursty flow associated
magnetic fluctuations, however, exhibit 1/f type scaling
indicating that large-scale fluctuations are controlled by multiple
uncorrelated driving sources of the bulk flows (e.g. magnetic
reconnection, instabilities). |
