Magnetopause shapes: General solutions
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1977The problem of determining the shape of a magnetopause, namely, the tangential discontinuity separating (typically) the magnetic field of a source from external plasma, is reduced to solving an integral equation. No symmetry assumptions whatsoever are used in the derivation, consequently, realistic problems such as model shapes for the earth's ...

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 ...

Continuous magnetic reconnection at Earth's magnetopause
Nature, 2003The most important process that allows solar-wind plasma to cross the magnetopause and enter Earth's magnetosphere is the merging between solar-wind and terrestrial magnetic fields of opposite sense-magnetic reconnection. It is at present not known whether reconnection can happen in a continuous fashion or whether it is always intermittent.

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 ...

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 ...

Structure of tangential discontinuities at the magnetopause: the nose of the magnetopause
Journal of Atmospheric and Terrestrial Physics, 1978Abstract Observations show that the magnetopause can sometimes be represented as a tangential discontinuity in the magnetic field. In this paper, we use a theoretical model of steady-state tangential discontinuities to analyze the microscale structure of the nose of the magnetopause.

Probing the structure of the magnetopause
Science, 2017Magnetospheres The magnetopause is the boundary in space that separates the region dominated by Earth’s magnetic field (the magnetosphere) from the surrounding solar wind. The four spacecraft of NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission have repeatedly flown in formation through the magnetopause, measuring the properties of the plasma and magnetic

Predictability of Magnetopause Location
Understanding the dynamics and predictability of magnetopause location is crucial for space weather forecasting and the safeguarding of critical technological infrastructure. The first part of the talk surveys previous effort in development of magnetopause models that gradually involve more and more driving parameters, starting from solar wind dynamic ...Zdenek Nemecek, Jana Safrankova

Magnetopause and Boundary Layer
2013A brief overview is given of our present knowledge, observational and theoretical, of the structure of the magnetopause and the adjoining plasma boundary layer. Particular attention is given to the relationship between these electromagnetic and plasma structures on the front lobe of the magnetosphere and the magnetic field reconnection process.
