%0 Journal Article %X This paper reviews the progress made in the last few years in the research on the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly, focusing on its origin and on the local particle precipitation induced by wave-particle interaction processes. In spite of the considerable progress made, many questions like "Is the anomaly a permanent feature of the Earth's magnetic field?" or "Is the anomaly a source of plasma instabilites?" reamain to be investigated. %T Recent research on South Atlantic magnetic anomaly %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3EU29DP %@secondarytype PRE PI %K magnetic anomalies, South Altantic. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup vinicius %@group DGE-INPE-MCT-BR %3 pinto-recent.pdf %@copyholder SID/SCD %@secondarykey INPE-13769-PRE/8957 %F self-archiving-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m16@80/2006/06.05.12.37.27 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Trends in Geophysical Research %@project ELAT: Eletricidade atmosférica %@versiontype publisher %P 45-54 %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m16@80/2006/06.05.12.37 %@documentstage not transferred %D 1993 %V 2 %A Pinto Junior, Osmar, %@area CEA %@holdercode {isadg {BR SPINPE} ibi 8JMKD3MGPCW/3DT298S}
