Almost 40 years ago the concept of the substorm current wedge was developed to explain
the magnetic signatures observed on the ground and in geosynchronous orbit during …

Particles are accelerated to very high, non-thermal energies in solar and space plasma
environments. While energy spectra of accelerated electrons often exhibit a power law, it …

Using three‐dimensional MHD simulations of magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail, we
investigate the fate of earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs). The flow bursts are identified as …

We review the range of applications and use of the curlometer, initially developed to analyze
Cluster multi‐spacecraft magnetic field data; but more recently adapted to other arrays of …

Using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of magnetotail dynamics, we investigate
the build‐up and evolution of the substorm current wedge (SCW) and its association with …

Meso-scale auroral forms, such as poleward boundary intensifications, streamers, omega
bands, beads and giant undulations, are manifestations of dynamic processes in the …

The substorm current wedge (SCW) is a fundamental component of geomagnetic substorms.
Models tend to describe the SCW as a simple line current flowing into the ionosphere toward …

Spacecraft observations have established that all known planets with an internal magnetic
field, as part of their interaction with the solar wind, possess well-developed magnetic tails …

The joint European Space Agency and Chinese Academy of Sciences Solar wind
Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission will explore global dynamics of …

Depleted flux tubes, or plasma bubbles, are one possible explanation of bursty bulk flows,
which are transient high speed flows thought to be responsible for a large proportion of flux …
