Magnetospheric ring currents

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4164767
A theoretical model of the ring current problem is discussed. The theory suggests that the convective system of the magnetosphere could supply and energize protons for the magnetic storm-time ring current, which produces the main phase magnetic variation during magnetic storms. Experimental measurements of the characteristics of the storm-time ring current problems substantiate the theory. (BJG)
