A numerical model of the ionospheric signatures of time-varying magneticreconnection: I. ionospheric convection

This paper presents a numerical model for predicting the evolution of the pattern of ionospheric convection in response to general time-dependent magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause and in the cross-tail current sheet of the geomagnetic tail. The model quantifies the concepts of io...
