TLDR
Transition region magnetic field and polar magnetic disturbances, comparing Explorer XII data with ground measurements from Arctic observatories as discussed by the authors, showed that the transition region is more stable than the polar magnetic field.Abstract:

Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral line model of substorms: Past results and present view
Daniel N. Baker,Tuija Pulkkinen,Vassilis Angelopoulos,Wolfgang Baumjohann,Robert L. McPherron +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the NENL model of magnetospheric substorms, including the role of coupling with the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field, the growth phase sequence, the expansion phase (and onset), and the recovery phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy coupling between the solar wind and the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that epsilon is the primary factor controlling the time development of magnetospheric substorms and storms and that the power generated by the dynamo can be identified as ϵ through the use of a dimensional analysis, indicating that the magnetosphere is closer to a directly driven system than to an unloading system which stores the generated energy before converting it to substorm and storm energies.

TL;DR: The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) as discussed by the authors has been operating as an international co-operative organization for over 10 years and has been successful in addressing a wide range of scientific questions concerning processes in the magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere, as well as general plasma physics questions.

The causes of convection in the Earth's magnetosphere: A review of developments during the IMS
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed analysis of plasmas and fields in the vicinity of the dayside magnetopause using the International Magnetospheric Study by the ISEE 1 and 2 spacecraft and conclude that dayside reconnection is the dominant contributor under usual conditions.

Bidirectional solar wind electron heat flux events
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ISEE 3 plasma and magnetic field data to document the general characteristics of bidirectional electron heat flux events (BEHFEs) and found that significant field rotations often occur at the beginning and/or end of such events and, at times, the large-field rotations characteristic of'magnetic clouds' are present.

Interplanetary Magnetic Field and the Auroral Zones
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that a model with a southward interplanetary magnetic field leads to a natural explanation of the SD currents and speculative aspects of the problem as they appear at this time are discussed.

The Earth's magnetic tail
TL;DR: In this article, the topology of the magnetic field within the magnetosphere and the position of both its boundary and the detached collisionless bow shock wave were investigated. But the results were limited to the Imp 1 satellite, and the range of the magnetometers was between 0.25 and 300γ.

The solar wind velocity and its correlation with cosmic-ray variations and with solar and geomagnetic activity
TL;DR: Mariner 2 obtained data on the interplanetary plasma during the period August 29, 1962, through January 3, 1963, and compared with data on cosmic-ray diurnal variations and with indices of solar and geomagnetic activity for this period as discussed by the authors.

Initial results of the imp 1 magnetic field experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, the initial results of the detailed measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field and the interaction of the solar wind with the geomagnetic field are presented, with extreme values as low as 1 and as high as 10 γ.
