Electrodynamic context of magnetopause dynamics observed by magnetospheric multiscale

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Magnetopause observations by Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) and Birkeland currents observed by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment are used to relate magnetopause encounters to ionospheric electrodynamics.

Global hybrid simulations of soft X-ray emissions in the Earth’s magnetosheath

Earth and Planetary Physics
Earth’s magnetopause is a thin boundary separating the shocked solar wind plasma from the magnetospheric plasmas, and it is also the boundary of the solar wind energy transport to the magnetosphere.

The Microstructure of the Magnetopause [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 1975
Summary The microstructure of the magnetopause is reviewed with particular emphasis on the identification of important problems that require further study. The subject is introduced by considering theoretically the microstructure of the thin boundary layer (∼ 1 km) that exists when a cold, unmagnetized stream of magnetosheath ions and electrons ...

A time-dependent three-dimensional dayside magnetopause model based on quasi-elastodynamic theory [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
The interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere is a critical area of research in space weather and space physics. Accurate determination of the magnetopause position is essential for understanding magnetospheric dynamics. While numerous

Statistical survey of day-side magnetospheric current flow using Cluster observations: magnetopause [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2017
We present a statistical survey of current structures observed by the Cluster spacecraft at high-latitude day-side magnetopause encounters in the close vicinity of the polar cusps.

The Cluster spacecrafts' view of the motion of the high-latitude magnetopause [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
The magnetopause is the boundary between the interplanetary magnetic field and the terrestrial magnetic field. It is influenced by different solar-wind conditions, which lead to a change in the shape and location of the magnetopause.

Investigating the Occurrence of Magnetic Reconnection at Jupiter's Dawn Magnetopause During the Juno Era

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
In this study, observations from the Jovian auroral distributions experiment, Jupiter energetic particle detector instrument, and Magnetic field investigation instruments on Juno are used to identify signatures of magnetic reconnection at Jupiter's dawn ...

Bow Shock Current Closure Through the Magnetosheath for Non‐Zero IMF By—Results From Hybrid Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The bow shock current (BSC) flows on the bow shock due to the compression of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) across the shock. Although previous studies have shown that the BSC can connect to magnetospheric current systems via the magnetosheath, it is still not known how this happens.

Excitation of field line resonances by sources outside the magnetosphere [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2005
Field line resonances are thought to be excited by sources either at the magnetopause or outside it. Recent observations suggest that they may be associated with coherent oscillations or pressure pulses in the solar wind. In either case the excitation

Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...
