| Zusammenfassung |
| We construct artificial "software" spacecraft
consisting of magnetometers and 3D thermal and energetic ion detectors. Four
such spacecraft are "flown" through a 1D simulation of a
quasi-parallel shock. We analyze the resulting time series from the spacecraft,
and then use the more complete simulational information to evaluate our
interpretations based on the limited times series information. The separation
strategy used, with two closely spaced spacecraft pairs separated by a large
distance, was helpful in the interpretation, since a variety of important
processes operate over several different scale lengths. This work highlights the
ability to draw inferences about spatially and temporally varying phenomena
based on multiple-spacecraft time series data, and suggests that many spacecraft
configurations which bear little resemblance to the classic Cluster tetrahedron
may be necessary when multiple scale lengths are present. |
