Global magnetospheric imaging
Abstract
The demonstrated and developing methods for global magnetospheric imaging are presented and the scientific expectations of having global observations in conjunction with local measurements are discussed. The global observations of the previously invisible magnetosphere will provide the first look at the overall magnetosphere, its dynamics, and the interactions between its component parts. The capability of imaging magnetospheric plasmas marks the first occasion where an astrophysical plasma system which has been well characterized by in situ measurements, i.e., the earth's magnetosphere, can also be characterized globally by remote sensing.
