Statistical Correlation Study Between Magnetosheath and Magnetospheric Plasma Properties Using 9 Years of THEMIS Data
Abstract
This analysis presents a statistical correlation study between solar wind, magnetosheath and magnetotail plasma properties using 9+ years of THEMIS data in a normalized coordinate system which takes into account the changes of the magnetopause and bow shock location with respect to changing solar wind conditions. We present statistical results of the density, temperature, specific entropy, electron to ion temperature ratio, and their dependence on IMF orientation, solar wind properties, resulting magnetosheath state, and different transport times.
