Maximum Spreading Speed for Magnetopause Reconnection: Model Dataset

Creator:

Welling, Daniel and Walsh, Brian

Description:

The goal of this simulation was to examine the spread of magnetic reconnection across the dayside magnetopause upon the arrival of a tangential discontinuity of the interplanetary magnetic field from a purely northward to southward configuration. Simple solar wind conditions were used to give us input into the system. A very high resolution grid setup was used in BATS-R-US.
