The Proposed study is designed to combine observational results from a variety of spacecraft with computational models. The purpose is to develop a better understanding of the processes in the magnetosheath. These processes divert the flow of shocked solar wind plasma around the magnetosphere. Understanding these processes is critical to understanding the complex physics that determines the coupling of energy from the solar wind to the earth's magnetosphere and eventually to its dissipation in the ionosphere.

这项拟议的研究旨在将各种航天器的观测结果与计算模型结合起来。目的是为了更好地了解磁鞘中的过程。这些过程转移了受冲击的太阳风等离子体在磁层周围的流动。理解这些过程对于理解复杂的物理过程至关重要，而复杂的物理过程决定了从太阳风到地球磁层的能量的耦合，并最终决定了能量在电离层中的消散。
