Solar wind entry into the high-latitude terrestrial magnetosphere during geomagnetically quiet times

Wei, Y.; Zhang, H.; Zong, Q. -G. +14 more

An understanding of the transport of solar wind plasma into and throughout the terrestrial magnetosphere is crucial to space science and space weather. For non-active periods, there is little agreement on where and how plasma entry into the magnetosphere might occur. Moreover, behaviour in the high-latitude region behind the magnetospheric cusps, …
