THE INFLUENCE OF ELECTRIC FIELD INCREASING ON THE SUBSTORM CURRENTS FORMATION

Le résumé fourni par la source

The stable state of the magnetic flux tube with the current and finite magnetosphere conductivity has been studied in this work. The appearance of the finite anisotropic conductivity can be caused by thinning of the near-Earth plasma sheet in the night- side magnetosphere. The finite conductivity leads to the increasing electric field and to the formation of the longitudinal plasma pressure gradients also. The field-aligned currents flowing out of and into the ionosphere (the currents of the substorm expansive phase) appear in this region of the magnetosphere.
