| Session Description | This session will examine the transfer of energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere and ionosphere. Studies using observations, simulations, or a combinations of the two that relate to the transfer of mass, energy, and momentum to the geospace system, including studies of storms and substorms that place those events in a broader context, are welcome. In addition, studies of the processes that couple the solar wind to the geospace system, including bow shock, magnetic reconnection on the magnetopause, and mechanical interactions such as dynamic pressure variations and Kelvin-Helmholtz interactions on the flanks of the magnetosphere, as well as new methods for data analyses and numerical simulations are also welcome. |
