The magnetopause

Abstract

A review of theoretical and observational research on the magnetopause during 1987-1990. Starting with recent work on magnetic reconnection, the review proceeds to magnetopause surface wave phenomena, including the controversy over the role of solar wind pressure pulses in the coupling process and in the mimicking of flux transfer events signatures, and finishes with the magnetopause structure and associated wave phenomena. Recent advances in computer modeling of the magnetopause and the pertinent processes are also discussed.
