MAGNETOSPHERE. “The solar wind motional electric field in the Earth’s frame of reference imposes a large-scale convection pattern within the magnetosphere and ionosphere. Dayside reconnection allows solar wind plasma and field entry to the dayside magnetosphere, from where the plasma convects across the polar cap and tail lobes to another reconnection location in the distant tail.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

FIGURE. “Large-scale current systems in the magnetosphere. An enlargement of the Earth showing the auroral oval, auroral electrojet currents, and the large-scale Region 1 (more poleward) and Region 2 (more equatorward) currents bounding the high-latitude polar cap is shown in the background.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

NEUTRAL EXOSPHERE. “In addition to the solar wind flow, the atmosphere contributes both to the neutral and charged particle density in the magnetosphere. The neutral exosphere, or the upward extension of the atmosphere, fills the near-Earth space with an exponentially decreasing density.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

CUSP OF CHANGE. “The use of written texts for scientific communications, as we know them, is relatively recent. In the tradition of the paper article a clear document structure emerged; a structure characterised by its linear build up and closed character. In an electronic environment, where all articles and parts thereof can be interconnected, new ways of presenting scientific information will develop. The electronic information transfer of the future will be, in essence, a transfer of well-defined, cognitive information modules.” https://lnkd.in/d4g67F9 View in LinkedIn

ISOTROPIC HOMOGENEITY. “Observations show that the universe is nearly isotropic on very large scales. It is much more difficult to show that the universe is radially homogeneous, that is, independent of the distance from us, or, equivalently, that the universe is isotropic about distant points. This is usually taken as an axiom, since otherwise we would occupy a special position.” https://lnkd.in/dXsyjGJ View in LinkedIn

GLOBAL CONVECTION. “The solar wind electric field drives a global convection pattern in the ionosphere, which produces convection electrojets carried by drift currents flowing eastward on the duskside and westward on the dawnside of the ionosphere. Consequently, the plasma flows from the dayside toward the nightside over the polar cap, returning to the dayside along the lower latitudes, consistent with the Dungey cycle.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
