How plasma stored in the Magnetotail is returned back to Earth has great implication of the Earth
magnetosphere responds to changes in the solar wind. In the magnetotail both oxygen and protons
are impacted by fast tail changes such as magnetic reconnection and cross tail oscillations. The
Cluster mission observations of the magnetotail flows shows that at low speeds protons and oxygen...

Theoretical atmosphere models provide the basis for a variety of
applications for
astronomy. In one-dimensional (1D) atmosphere models, convection is
usually treated
with the mixing-length theory. However, this theory is by far not
flawless and the
superadiabatic regime is poorly rendered. Due to the increasing
computational power,
we are now capable to compute large grids of...

Due to its multi-scale nature, magnetic reconnection is
difficult to model
numerically using a full electromagnetic description of plasma
in a system whose size
is orders of magnitude larger than the smallest relevant
spatial scales. In the
context of Earth's magnetosphere reconnection has been
modeled using a
magnetohydrodynamic description of plasma for decades
while kinetic...
