Solar wind flow near a reconnection site at the dayside magnetopause: development of an existing three-dimensional model
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 2007
Abstract.
An improvement of an existing three-dimensional analytical model describing the solar wind flow near a reconnection site at the dayside magnetopause is reported. Introducing an arbitrary orientation of the reconnection line, general solutions for the plasma velocity and magnetic field during the transition of the magnetopause are presented, together with the development of the magnetopause transition layer away from the reconnection site.
