Modeling magnetospheric plasma

Book ·
OSTI ID:6514183
This book explores the relationships between the various models (MHD, kinetic, particle simulation, empirical) using observations as a guide. Topics included are Global modeling of magnetospheric plasma processes; Modeling of the mid-latitude ionosphere and plasmasphere; Modeling of the auroral zone and boundary layer; modeling of the polar magnetosphere and ionosphere; Modeling of the plasma sheet and ring current; and Prospects for synthesis of local models into a global magnetospheric model.
