TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of current efforts in the theory and modeling of CMEs, focusing on how energy stored in the coronal magnetic field can be released violently to drive CME driven shocks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between a simple but general model of solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling (the Hill model) and the output of a global magnetospheric MHD code, the Integrated Space Weather Prediction Model (ISM), was made.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the region 1 current system takes on the role of providing the current and generating most of the magnetic field in the J × B force at the magnetopause that balances solar wind ram pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the correlation variability between ISEE 1 and 3 IMF measurements and discussed the factors governing the variability, and found that the scale size of magnetic features is larger when variance is high, and abrupt changes in the correlation coefficient from poor to good or good to poor in adjacent two-hour intervals appear to be governed by the sense of change of IMF variance and vice versa.

TL;DR: In this paper, electron heat flux data were examined for 14 magnetic clouds detected by ISEE 3 and IMP 8 near solar maximum and 34 clouds by Wind near solar minimum, suggesting a possible solar cycle dependence on the degree of magnetic openness.
