2 November 1993 (day 306)

: IMP-8 in magnetosheath, densities too low for plasma measurements. Field data indicated Bx positive, By negative and Bz positive orientations. Geomagnetic activity level extremely low . Magnetospheric field developed an unusually dipolar configuration under fairly prolonged Bz positive conditions.

Plasma
IMP-8 plasma data not available GEOTAIL Plasma Monitor not in Interplanterary Medium.
Field
IMP-8 measurements in magnetosheath indicate the following condition prevailed through most of the day, Bx positive, By negative, and Bz positive.
Satellite location
IMP-8 location at 12 UT in GSM Coordinates(Re): X = -14, Y = 26, Z = -22, NSSDC boundary model indicates IMP-8 in duskside magnetosheath. GEOTAIL in dawnside magnetotail near X= -200Re

Beyond Geosynchronous Orbit - no data
Geosynchronous Orbit
Plasmasphere refilling began, typical of quiet times and indicative of weak magnetospheric convection (MPA), low ion pressure in plasmasheet (MPA), low penetrating energetic particle background (MPA), night-side magnetosphere field line orientation unusually dipolar (MPA), energetic particle drift orbits unusual (SOPA), high energy electrons present at geosynchronous orbit (MPA, LANL MPA and SOPA Team, J. Borovsky and M. Thompson). High energy electrons present at geosynchronous orbit (GOES, H. Singer).
Below Geosynchronous Orbit
Normal outer radiation belt relativistic electron distribution, No significant flux variations (SAMPEX and GPS) no data (X. Li and T. Cayton)
Magnetospheric Modeling - no data
