Recirculation of plasmasphere material during idealized magnetic storms

The fate of flux tube material once it is eroded from of the plasmasphere through a dayside plume remains unknown. The eroded plasmasphere material can be either swept away by the solar wind and lost from Earth’s system, or recirculated into the inner magnetosphere. Recirculating plasmasphere materi...
