| Zusammenfassung |
| Based on a data pool of 79 yearly files of space magnetometer data by Polar,
Cluster, Geotail, and THEMIS satellites between 1995 and 2013, we developed a
new quantitative model of the global shape of the magnetospheric equatorial
current sheet as a function of the Earth's dipole tilt angle, solar wind ram
pressure, and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). This work upgrades and
generalizes an earlier model of Tsyganenko and Fairfield (2004) by extending
the modeling region to all local times, including the dayside sector. In
particular, an essential feature of the new model is the bowl-shaped
tilt-related deformation of the equatorial surface of minimum magnetic field,
similar to that observed at Saturn, whose existence in the Earth's
magnetosphere has been demonstrated in our recent work (Tsyganenko and
Andreeva, 2014). |
