Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the low-latitude ionospheric boundary condition on the global magnetosphere
Viacheslav Merkin,John G. Lyon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different idealized low-latitude boundary conditions has on the magnetospheric configuration simulated by the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry global magnetohydrodynamic model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of large‐scale Birkeland currents determined from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment
Brian J. Anderson,Haje Korth,C. L. Waters,D. L. Green,D. L. Green,Viacheslav Merkin,Robin J. Barnes,Lars P. Dyrud,Lars P. Dyrud +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined cases in which the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) rotated from northward to southward resulting in onsets of the Birkeland currents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial results from a dynamic coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-ring current model
Asher Pembroke,Frank Toffoletto,Stanislav Sazykin,Michael Wiltberger,John G. Lyon,Viacheslav Merkin,P. Schmitt +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled model of Earth's magnetosphere is described, which consists of the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation, the MIX ionosphere solver and the Rice Convection Model (RCM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Explosive Magnetotail Activity
M. I. Sitnov,Joachim Birn,B. Ferdousi,Evgeny Gordeev,Yuri V. Khotyaintsev,Viacheslav Merkin,Tetsuo Motoba,Antonius Otto,Evgeny V. Panov,P. L. Pritchett,Fulvia Pucci,Fulvia Pucci,Joachim Raeder,Andrei Runov,V. A. Sergeev,Marco Velli,Xu-Zhi Zhou +16 more
TL;DR: Two mechanisms for the generation of the pre-onset current sheet are discussed, namely magnetic flux addition to the tail lobes, or other high-latitude perturbations, and magnetic flux evacuation from the near-Earth tail associated with dayside reconnection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous formation of dipolarization fronts and reconnection onset in the magnetotail
M. I. Sitnov,Natalia Buzulukova,Natalia Buzulukova,Marc Swisdak,Viacheslav Merkin,Thomas E. Moore +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, full-particle simulations of 2D magnetotail current sheet equilibria with open boundaries and zero driving are presented, showing that spontaneous formation of dipolarization fronts and subsequent formation of magnetic islands are possible with an accumulation of magnetic flux at the tailward end of a sufficiently thin current sheet.
