Relation of polar auroral arcs to magnetotail twisting and IMF rotation: a systematic MHD simulation study
We investigate with the help of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model how the large-scale topology of the magnetosphere develops for a constant interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) with different IMF clock angles and for an IMF <i>B<sub>y</sub></i> sign change during northward...
