Exploring the processes and phenomena of Earth's dayside
magnetosphere
Energy and momentum transfer, initially taking place at the dayside
magnetopause, is responsible for a variety of phenomenon that we can
measure on the ground. Data obtained from observations of Earth's
dayside magnetosphere increases our knowledge of the processes by which
solar wind mass, momentum, and energy enter the magnetosphere.
Dayside Magnetosphere Interactions outlines the physics and processes
of dayside magnetospheric phenomena, the role of solar wind in
generating ultra-low frequency waves, and solar
wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling.
Volume highlights include:
- Phenomena across different temporal and spatial scales
- Discussions on dayside aurora, plume dynamics, and related dayside
reconnection
- Results from spacecraft observations, ground-based observations, and
simulations
- Discoveries from the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission and Van Allen
Probes era
- Exploration of foreshock, bow shock, magnetosheath, magnetopause, and
cusps
- Examination of similar processes occurring around other planets
The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space
science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate
scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students,
and professionals.
