A systems science examination of the Earth's fully interconnected dynamic magnetosphere
is presented. Here the magnetospheric system (aka the magnetosphere–ionosphere …

This paper deals with acceleration processes in the magnetotail and the processes that
enhance particle precipitation from the tail into the ionosphere through electric fields in the …

A review of the present status of the theory of magnetic reconnection is given. In strongly
collisional plasmas reconnection proceeds via resistive current sheets, ie quasi-stationary …

Magnetospheric substorms explosively release solar wind energy previously stored in
Earth's magnetotail, encompassing the entire magnetosphere and producing spectacular …

We discuss results of a superposed epoch analysis of dipolarization fronts, rapid (δt< 30 s),
high‐amplitude (δBz> 10 nT) increases in the northward magnetic field component …

Energetic particle injections are critical for supplying particles and energy to the inner
magnetosphere. Recent case studies have demonstrated a good correlation between …

Abstract The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission has obtained comprehensive
particle and magnetic field measurements. The Solar Wind Electron Analyzer provides …

Using the electromagnetic fields of a recent MHD simulation of magnetotail reconnection,
flow bursts and dipolarization, we investigate the acceleration of test particles (protons and …

Recent models of magnetotail activity have associated the braking of earthward flow with
dipolarization and the reduction and diversion of cross‐tail current, that is, the signatures of …

The term “dispersionless injection” refers to a class of events which show simultaneous
enhancement (injection) of electrons and ions with different energies usually seen at or near …
