The Upgraded CARISMA Magnetometer Array in the THEMIS Era (2008, background): “Data from selected CARISMA stations also represent a formal element of the data set for the NASA Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) mission (Sibeck and Angelopoulos 2008).”
First Results of the THEMIS Search Coil Magnetometers (2008, background): “The geometry of the FTE, and the general characteristics of this event will be discussed elsewhere [33,34].”
OpenGGCM Simulations for the THEMIS Mission (2008, background): “The THEMIS mission [Sibeck and Angelopoulos, 2008; Angelopoulos, 2008] is designed to answer this question by providing simultaneous measurements at 5 locations in order to establish how events proceed in time and space.”
On the current sheets surrounding dipolarizing flux bundles in the magnetotail: The case for wedgelets (2013, methodology): “During the 2008 and 2009 tail seasons, the five probes traveled through the magnetotail with different apogees [Sibeck and Angelopoulos, 2008]: P1 had an apogee of ~30 RE; P2, ~20 RE; and P3, P4, and P5, 10–12 RE (all in downtail distance).”
Multipoint observations of magnetospheric compression‐related EMIC Pc1 waves by THEMIS and CARISMA (2008, background): “Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) [Sibeck and Angelopoulos, 2008] spacecraft lined up in a ‘‘string-of-pearls’’ with apogee at 15.”
Magnetic flux transport by dipolarizing flux bundles (2013, background): “THEMIS consists of five satellites (probes P1–P5) that cover the magnetotail from X= 6 RE to 30 RE (all quantities are in GSM coordinates unless otherwise noted) during the tail science phases [Sibeck and Angelopoulos, 2008].”
Substorm current wedge driven by plasma flow vortices: THEMIS observations (2009, methodology): “Properties of one space vortex are described using multipoint measurement from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) spacecraft [Angelopoulos, 2008; Sibeck and Angelopoulos, 2008; Bester et al., 2008; Auster et al., 2008; McFadden et al., 2008; D. Larson et”
Global distributions of suprathermal electrons observed on THEMIS and potential mechanisms for access into the plasmasphere (2010, background): “…orbits with apogees above 10 RE and perigees below 2 RE to study not only substorms, but also the evolution of inner magnetospheric electrons [Sibeck and Angelopoulos, 2008], are well situated to measure electron distributions from the plasma sheet to the near‐Earth region in the equatorial…”
