Analysis of Crossing Events in Intense Electric Fields on 11/04/2012
This document outlines the analysis of crossing events in an intense electric field located at the PSBL on November 4, 2012. The study includes a detailed MinVari analysis of the crossing, focusing on smoothing magnetic field data over 30 seconds and detrending the magnetic data to observe wave patterns on scales of 10-30 seconds. Additionally, the document discusses plotting the electric field based on the E·B=0 assumption, emphasizing the necessity for high magnetic field sampling rates to capture accurate data.

Crossing current sheet events • Intense electric field located at the PSBL
About 12 crossing. Do the one from 0441UT first. • 1 MinVari analysis for the crossing. Smoothing over 30s. • 2 Detrend the magnetic field data. Look at the waves on scales of 10~30s. MinVar analysis for the waves. (k vector) • 3 plot the E from the E_dotB=0 assumption. • May need high B sampling rate.
