On the Magnetic Field Configuration of the Magnetosheath

The magnetosheath is the region where the shocked solar wind interacts directly with the magnetosphere. Here we examine the magnetic field throughout the equatorial magnetosheath as a function of the solar wind IMF direction using observational data sets (Geotail and Wind) spanning 9.5 years. In gen...
