The Response of the Magnetosphere to the Solar Wind

  • Conference paper
The Magnetospheres of the Earth and Jupiter

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 52))

Abstract

Almost seventeen years have elapsed since the first probes were sent into the Earth’s magnetosphere. Since that time, our understanding of the magnetosphere has gradually evolved to the point that now we have a clear, although at times qualitative, understanding of the dominant physical mechanisms at work in the terrestrial magnetosphere. Many of these processes undoubtedly occur in the magnetosphere of Jupiter also. While their relative importance will be altered by the different scales of the parameters in the Jovian magnetosphere, our understanding of Jupiter will be hastened by our experience in studying the Earth.
