Magnetopause energy and mass transfer: results from a global MHD simulation

We use the global MHD model GUMICS-4 to investigate the energy and mass transfer through the magnetopause and towards the closed magnetic field as a response to the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) clock angle &theta;=arctan (<i>B<sub>Y</sub>/B<sub>Z</sub></...
