| Zusammenfassung |
The energetics of driven
magnetic reconnections induced by the deformation of the magnetopause boundary
due to the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction are studied. The bursty type
reconnection ensues due to the forcing of the magnetopause boundary by the
solar wind. For typical plasma parameters in the inner central plasma sheet
(ICPS), the magnetic energy release during the reconnection is estimated and it
is found that the available free energy is comparable to the observed kinetic
energy of typical bursty bulk flows. It implies that the part of the free
energy goes into the heating of the ICPS particles, whereas the rest goes into
its acceleration. The accelerated particle manifests itself as bursty flows.
