Solar Cycle Variation of Plasma Mass Density in the Outer Magnetosphere: Magnetoseismic Analysis of Toroidal Standing Alfven Waves Detected by Geotail
We study the variation of plasma mass density in the outer magnetosphere over a solar cycle using mass density estimated from the frequency of fundamental toroidal standing Alfvén waves observed…
