摘要: [1] The mechanism of plasmapause formation based on interchange instability and a Kp-dependent magnetospheric electric field model, enables us to determine the position as function Kp local time. We illustrate here how this physical is able account for shoulders like those observed by EUV IMAGE. A wide variety other structures IMAGE tails (also called plumes), notches are also obtained with “knee” in high altitude cross-L distribution cold plasma density distribution.
