| Zusammenfassung |
The ESA/NASA Cluster mission has
four identical
satellites and is due for launch at the end of 1995.
It will
provide a unique opportunity to study medium scale
processes
in the region from inside the magnetopause to the
solar wind.
The polar orbit will allow measurements in the cusp
and along
auroral field lines, both regions where turbulence is
to be
expected. Five of the eleven instruments on each
payload form
the Wave Experiment Consortium (WEC); EFW, STAFF,
VMISPER, WBD
and DWP. The WEC is capable of a wide variety of
wave and
turbulence measurements. This paper outlines
these
capabilities and describes the form of the data which
will be
collected.
The paper gives a discussion of how the WEC data
may be
analysed so as to give an insight into the
non-linear
processes which occur in these regions of the space
plasmas.
There are many ways in which a plasma may be
considered to
behave in a non-linear manner. We concentrate on
how the
spatio-temporal turbulence in the plasma may be
investigated
so as to yield the energy spectrum with respect to
both the
frequency and wave number. |
