A quantitative model of the magnetosphere with poloidal vector fields
A quantitative model of the magnetospheric magnetic field is developed using poloidal vector fields. This formalism is applied to the ring current region, the distant field and the return currents. The tail model is similar to the unwarped model of Tsyganenko. Several sets of coefficients are ob...
