Abstract

Hydromagnetic tidal oscillations in the magnetosphere of the Earth are obtained on the basis of the electrostatic fields in the dynamo region as deduced from solar and lunar geomagnetic variations. It is found that the magnetosphere expands during the daytime and contracts during the night for the solar tides, and expands around 00 hr and 12 hr lunar time and contracts around 06 hr and 18 hr lunar time for the lunar tides Effects of these tidal motions on the distribution of plasma density are then estimated and discussed.
