Approximation and computation of the solution to the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling equation via a mixed formulation

This study develops a numerical technique for the approximation of the magnetosphere-ionosphere (MI) coupling equation, which is a crucial step in the Rice Convection Model (RCM), a physical model that treats plasma in Earth's inner and middle magnetosphere via a multi-fluid approximation. The...
