英文摘要 | Dipolarization front (DF) is an important region involved with energy conversion and flux transport in the planet's magnetotail. Using observation data from the recent Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we have identified and analyzed 215 DF events. Significant magnetic energy conversion and transport are observed at the DFs, which show strong dawn-dusk asymmetry. We find that the transport process dominates the change of local magnetic energy. Nearly 70% of the events show net Poynting flux flowing into the DF region. Such effect is more significant than local magnetic energy dissipation, averagely. When DF approaches the near-Earth region, the net flow-in Poynting flux decreases and magnetic energy dissipation increases. Our results suggest that the downstream magnetic energies of transient magnetic reconnections in the midtail may be transported to the near-Earth region by one DF event after another. These intensive strikes to the magnetosphere in the near-planet region may drive stronger storms, compared with the previous knowledge about DF. Plain Language Summary Dipolarization front (DF), a sharp boundary with a scale of ion inertial length, is frequently observed at the nightside of the terrestrial magnetosphere. It is widely believed that DF plays a key role in magnetic flux transport and energy conversion in the magnetotail. Reliable data from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) give us an opportunity to investigate the magnetic energy conversion and transport associated with DF. We have statistically studied 215 DF events and found that the magnetic dissipation increases when DF moves toward the near-Earth region. It is interesting that the change of local magnetic energy mainly results from the net inflow Poynting flux, which is much larger than the magnetic energy dissipation in the midtail. These results suggest that DF has a long lifetime during the transport in the magnetotail and might produce a more intense impact on the inner magnetosphere and ionosphere. |
