This project will utilize a multi-fluid global simulation of the magnetosphere to study several important questions concerning the interaction of the magnetosphere with the ionosphere and with the plasma sphere. It will examine how changes in ionospheric conductance modifies the cross-polar cap electric potential drop, the effects of ionospheric mass loading on the evolution of the magnetosphere and how the introduction of heavy ionospheric ions affects the reconnection process in the magnetotail.

该项目将利用对磁层的多流体全球模拟来研究有关磁层与电离层和等离子球层相互作用的几个重要问题。它将研究电离层电导的变化如何改变跨极帽电势降，电离层质量负荷对磁层演化的影响，以及重电离层离子的引入如何影响磁尾的重新连接过程。
