Terrestrial Electromagnetism Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates electromagnetic phenomena from the solar wind to Earth's interior.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring space through electromagnetism, from the aurora to Earth's magnetic field.
The Terrestrial Electromagnetism Lab (Solar-Planetary Electromagnetism) studies diverse phenomena occurring over a wide range of regions, from Earth's center to the oceans, atmosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, interplanetary space, and bodies of the solar system, based on electromagnetism and plasma physics.
Its themes include the boundary between the solar wind and the magnetosphere, the structure and variation of the magnetosphere, substorms and magnetic storms, the thermospheric and ionospheric atmosphere, and Earth's main magnetic field and its changes.
The lab uses electromagnetic field observations on the ground and on the deep seafloor, measurements by radar, GPS, and satellites, large-scale numerical computation, and the latest data analysis.
Key terms
- magnetosphere
- The region formed when Earth's magnetic field blocks the stream of plasma from the Sun (the solar wind)
- ionosphere
- A layer about 60 to 1,000 km above the ground in which part of the atmosphere is electrically charged
- substorm
- A phenomenon in which energy accumulated in the magnetosphere is suddenly released, making the aurora shine intensely
