A physical explanation for the magnetic decrease ahead of dipolarization fronts
Recent studies have shown that the ambient plasma in the near-Earth magnetotail can be compressed by the arrival of a dipolarization front (DF). In this paper we study the variations in the characteristics of currents flowing in this compressed region ahead of the DF, particularly the changes in...
