| 内容記述 | A particle code is used to simulate the magnetopause region in the high latitude geomagnetic tail in which the magnetic field undergoes a significant increase in going from the magnetosheath to the magnetotail lobe. The simulation indicates that plasma can flow from the magnetosheath to the lobe, which is accompanied by a drop in pressure and density. In the earth's inertial frame, the particles do work against the convection electric field. Hence the magnetopause region serves as a dynamo. The simulation also shows that the width of the transition region increases with time. In the earth's inertial frame this is seen as an expansion of the magnetopause thickness in the antisunward direction. |
