| 内容記述 | Externally-driven reconnection is simulated by solving the magnetohydrodynamic equations in a three-dimensional, tail-like geometry. As reconnection proceeds, the tail current is interrupted locally and field-aligned currents are generated. The field-aligned current flows towards the ionosphere on the morning side and away from the ionosphere in the evening. The field-aligned currents flow in a narrow band at the outer edge of the plasma sheet. Thus, the simulation demonstrates that the nightside substorm current system is a natural consequence of the driven reconnection model. |
