| 内容記述 | We describe the basic principles, instrumentation, and feasibility of a multi-satellite mission that combines in situ observations of plasma and electromagnetic fields with radio tomography imaging. We show that a 16-satellite radio tomography experiment can produce two-dimensional images of plasma density in the earth's magnetosphere at sufficient spatial (1/2 R(sub E)) and temporal (approximately 10s) resolution to address key problems of magnetospheric physics. The same mission can incorporate electron and ion analyzers, magnetometers, and electric field instruments on the same spacecraft. We suggest that the large-scale images are more valuable when combined with in situ observations, supporting an unambiguous interpretation of the in situ data and an investigation of the interdependence of small- and large-scale plasma processes. |
