This project will combine MHD modeling using the Michigan MHD code with satellite and ground-based observations to study the interaction of the solar wind with the magnetopause. In particular, two topics will be examined. The first topic is the mechanism by which momentum is transferred from the solar wind to the magnetosphere by reconnection at the dayside magnetopause. The second topic will be the response of the magnetosphere to a change of the interplanetary magnetic field from southward to northward.

该项目将把使用密歇根MHD代码的联合收割机MHD建模与卫星和地面观测相结合，以研究太阳风与磁层顶的相互作用。 具体而言，将审查两个专题。 第一个主题是动量从太阳风转移到磁层的机制，通过重联在向阳侧磁层顶。 第二个专题是磁层对行星际磁场由南向北变化的反应。
