摘要: Singly charged oxygen ions, O+, energized by kinetic Alfven wave eigenmode (KAWE) in the plasma sheet boundary layer during dipolarizations of two intense substorms,10:07 UT on 31 August 2004 and 18:24 14 September 2004, are investigated Cluster spacecraft magnetotail. It is found that after beginning expansion phase substorms, O+ ions clearly direction perpendicular to magnetic field with energy larger than 1 keV near-Earth (NEPS) dipolarizations. The pitch angle distribution these energetic significantly different from less before substorm onset which quasi-parallel along field. KAWE large unipolar electric field, Ez ~ -20 mV/m, accelerate background We present good evidences origin ionosphere line northward lobe can be accelerated change move useful for transferring into central Thus play an important role transfer process substorms.
