Examples in Context

  1. Under certain condition of the interplanetary magnetic field, a portion of them can reach the shadow region which is usually considered to be devoid of solar wind protons.
  2. Solar-terrestrial relation is an important aspect of space plasma research. The interplanetary magnetic field ( IMF ) and plasma, driven by the solar wind, interacts with the dipole field of the earth and generates the observed magnetosphere.
  3. After creating the magnetosphere model. We change the interplanetary magnetic field near the earth, and observe the physical quantities in the magnetosphere.
  4. Azimuthal magnetic field disturbances and spiral structure of the interplanetary magnetic field
  5. The distributions of the magnetic field fluctuation characteristics near the ecliptic plane in the magnetosheath are discussed by using the MHD model for describing variations of the interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations across a shock wave.
