Abstract

Проведен статистический анализ спектров флуктуаций электрического и магнитного поля в плазменном слое хвоста магнитосферы Земли по данным спутников миссии Multiscale Magnetosphere Mission (MMS) за 2017–2022 гг. при небольших скоростях движения плазмы. Рассмотрены результаты измерений комплекса аппаратуры FIELDS. Выделены трехчасовые интервалы, во время которых спутники находились внутри плазменного слоя и плазменный параметр β был больше единицы. Проведен анализ более ста тысяч спектров флуктуаций электрического поля прибором EDP/DCE и магнитного поля прибором FGM. Из рассмотрения были исключены интервалы со скоростями плазмы свыше 100 км/с. Для каждого интервала определены показатели наклонов спектров в частотном диапазоне 0.014–16 Гц. Выявлено, что величины показателей спектров существенно отличаются для электрического и магнитного поля. Получены зависимости показателей спектров от усредненных по интервалу уровней флуктуаций электрического и магнитного полей.
