- ph ] 9 S ep 2 00 4 Analysis of the Interaction of the Solar Wind with the Terrestrial Magnetosphere
Using a simple model we analyze qualitatively the deformation that terrestrial magnetic field suffers due to the presence of the solar wind; we also studied the electrical currents generated into the solar wind due to the presence of Earth's magnetic field.
متن کاملSolar Terrestrial Coupling Through Space Plasma Processes
This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The project investigates plasma processes that govern the interaction between the solar wind, charged particles ejected from the sun, and the earth’s magnetosphere, the region above the ionosphere governed by the terrestrial magnetic field. Primary ...
متن کاملDisappearing induced magnetosphere at Venus: Implications for close-in exoplanets
[1] The solar wind interaction with a planetary atmosphere produces a magnetosphere-like structure near the planet whether or not the planet has an intrinsic global magnetic field. In the case of planets like Venus or Mars, which have no global intrinsic magnetic field but possess a significant atmosphere, a magnetosphere is induced in the highly conducting ionosphere by the time-varying magnet...
متن کاملThe Solar Wind Interaction with the Earth’s Magnetosphere: A Tutorial
The size of the terrestrial magnetosphere is determined by the balance between the solar wind dynamic pressure and the pressure exerted by the magnetosphere, principally that of its magnetic field. The shape of the magnetosphere is additionally influenced by the drag of the solar wind, or tangential stress, on the magnetosphere. This drag is predominantly caused by the mechanism known as reconn...
متن کاملOverview of Solar Wind–Magnetosphere–Ionosphere–Atmosphere Coupling and the Generation of Magnetospheric Currents
We review the morphology and dynamics of the electrical current systems of the terrestrial magnetosphere and ionosphere. Observations from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE) over the three years 2010 to 2012 are employed to illustrate the variability of the field-aligned currents that couple the magnetosphere and ionosphere, on timescales from mi...
