Reviews of Geophysics, 1971
This paper reviews present understanding of the internal structure of the thin boundary layer, termed the magnetopause, that separates the distorted geomagnetic field in the magnetosphere from the flow of solar plasma in the magnetosheath. The fundamental theoretical concepts of the subject are introduced by considering the structure of the boundary ...

Transport Mechanisms at the Magnetopause
1979Mass, momentum, and energy transferred from the solar wind and magnetosheath into the magnetosphere must cross the boundary of the earth’s magnetic field, the magnetopause. This paper reviews the possibilities for convective and diffusive transport across the boundary and discusses the dependence of such processes on the orientation of the ...

The structure of the magnetopause
Planetary and Space Science, 1969Abstract Previous work on the structure of the boundary layer between a cold plasma and a vacuum magnetic field is extended to include the effect of a transverse velocity component perpendicular to the applied field. The exact equations of the problem, taking into account the electrostatic field arising from charge separation in the boundary, are ...

Radiation Measurements, 1999
Abstract A review of empirical data-based models of the magnetopause and a comparative analysis are given with special attention to the dynamics of the dayside boundary. Recently different research groups have presented new magnetopause models as an alternative to the model of Roelof and Sibeck (1993, J. Geophys. Res. 94, 15, 125).

Reviews of Geophysics, 1987
The explosive growth of magnetopause and bowshock research reported by Russell and Greenstadt [1983] has continued unabated through the 1983 to 1986 quadrennium. Shock research has gone far beyond the tentative exploratory work seen in the last two quadrennia: a sizable volume of collisionless shock parameter space has been explored both in careful ...

Tearing modes at the magnetopause
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1996It is shown that the shear flow present in the magnetopause current layer can destabilize the tearing modes depending upon the Mach number profiles. Using a variational principle, an heuristic stability criterion based on the form of the Mach number profile is obtained. This criterion could be used as a handy tool to search for tearing mode instability

On the Dipolarization Front and Magnetopause: 2. Evidence of Interchange Instability at Magnetopause
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space PhysicsAbstract Interchange instability is a macroscopic instability that commonly develops when the centrifugal acceleration opposes the acceleration induced by the density gradient at the interface between two regions.

Wave-coupling at the magnetopause
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1974The paper considers wave coupling for an arbitrary direction of propagation on the basis of single fluid hydromagnetic equations appropriate for a rarefied plasma. The analysis is used to study the transfer of solar wind momenta into the magnetosphere. It is found that wave refraction is significant only during disturbed conditions for waves travelling

The Jovian Magnetosphere And Magnetopause
1976It is convenient to divide the magnetosphere into three regions. The inner magnetosphere extends from the surface to about 25 7R J and is dominated by the basically dipolar field. The outer magnetosphere, on the sunward side, occupies a layer roughly 15R J thick just inside the magnetopause.
