Day side reconnection between a dipolar geomagnetic field and a uniform interplanetary field

Journal Article · · J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)
Field line reconnection on the day side magnetopause is assumed to take place along the separator of field line connectivity in the magnetic topology resulting from the interpermeation of a dipolar geomagnetic field and a uniform interplanetary field. The induced voltage is calculated to show its dependence on the magnitude and direction of the incident magnetic field. (AIP)
