- W2073227590 abstract "Observations from the Charge Composition Explorerin 1985 and 1986 revealed fifteen current disruption events in which the magnetic field fluctuations were large and their onsets coincided well with ground onsets of substorm expansion or intensification. These events are of short durations locally (∼1–5 min). They are mostly confined to within ∼0.5 R E of the neutral sheet and 1 hour local time from the magnetic midnight. Over the disruption interval, the local magnetic field can change by as much as a factor of ∼7. In general, the stronger the current buildup and the closer to the neutral sheet, the larger the resultant field change. There is also a tendency for a larger subsequent enhancement in the AE index with a stronger current buildup prior to current disruption. For events with good pitch angle coverage and extended observation in the neutral sheet region we find that the particle pressure increases toward the disruption onset and decreases afterward. Just prior to disruption, either the total particle pressure is isotropic, or the perpendicular component ( P ⊥ ) dominates the parallel comment ( P ∥ ), the plasma beta is seen to be as high as ∼70, and the observed plasma pressure gradient at the neutral sheet is large along the tail axis. The deduced local current density associated with pressure gradient is ∼27–80 nA/m² and is ∼85–105 mA/m when integrated over the sheet thickness. We infer from these results that just prior to the onset of current disruption, (1) an extremely thin current sheet requiring P ∥ > P ⊥ for stress balance does not develop at these distances, (2) the thermal ion orbits are in the chaotic or Speiser regime while the thermal electrons are in the adiabatic regime and, in one case, exhibit peaked fluxes perpendicular to the magnetic field, thus implying no electron orbit chaotization to possibly initiate ion tearing instability, and (3) the neutral sheet is in the unstable regime specified by the cross‐field current instability. Subsequent to the disruption onset, enhancement of magnetic noise over a broad frequency range, magnetic field aligned counterstreaming electron beams, ion energization perpendicular to the magnetic field, and current reduction in the amount similar to that of current buildup during the growth phase are observed. These features seem to be compatible with the predicted development of the cross‐field current instability." @default.
