The success of the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission depends on the accurate
measurement of the magnetic field on all four spacecraft. To ensure this success, two …

Models of magnetic field line merging that consider processes in a limited region around the
magnetic X line, within which the external magnetic fields are roughly uniform and …

An algorithm is presented for predicting the ground‐based Dst index solely from a
knowledge of the velocity and density of the solar wind and the north‐south solar …

The near‐Earth neutral line (NENL) model of magnetospheric substorms is reviewed. The
observed phenomenology of substorms is discussed including the role of coupling with the …

The magnetic field profiles across the magnetopause obtained by the ISEE-1 and-2
spacecraft separated by only a few hundred kilometers are examined for four passes. During …

Coronal mass ejection events (CMEs) are important occasional sources of plasma and
magnetic field in the solar wind at 1 AU, accounting for approximately 10% of all solar wind …

Magnetospheric substorms explosively release solar wind energy previously stored in
Earth's magnetotail, encompassing the entire magnetosphere and producing spectacular …

Magnetic field measurements from the ISEE 1 and 2 spacecraft are examined in the vicinity
of the magnetopause near local noon on a typical pass when the magnetosheath field is …

This textbook was developed to provide seniors and first-year graduate students in physical
sciences with a general knowledge of electrodynamic phenomena in space. Since the …

The physical processes which give rise to convection in the earth's magnetosphere have
been the subject of active debate for many years. Most of the discussion has centered on …
