Multipoint observations of magnetospheric wave phenomena

Electromagnetic wave phenomena represent a crucial factor during the forma- tion of the Earth's magnetosphere, as they are responsible for the energy trans- fer in the collisionless plasma medium. Multipoint observations of such wave phenomena are particularly useful to distinguish between spatial and temporal intensity variations. Moreover, an approximate event spatial extent and prop- agation directions can be determined. The thesis is focused on the statistical study of conjugate observations of wave phenomena called quasiperiodic (QP) emissions observed by the Van Allen Probes spacecraft and ground-based Kan- nuslehto station. Altogether, 26 simultaneously observed events were analyzed. This approach is unique in the sense that most such analyses up to date were only case studies. The thesis further presents the analysis of the dependence of properties of another wave phenomena, called magnetospheric line radiation (MLR), on the geomagnetic activity indices and solar wind parameters. Geomag- netic activity effects on the event characteristics are revealed. Finally, the effect of interplanetary shocks on the overall very low frequency (VLF) wave intensity measured by the DEMETER spacecraft is studied.
