Dynamical response of the magnetotail to changes of the solar wind direction: an MHD modeling perspective
We performed global MHD simulations to investigate the magnetotail response to the solar wind directional changes (<I>V<sub>z</sub></I>-variations). These changes, although small, cause significant variations of the neutral sheet shape and location even in the near and mid...
