Magnetospheric balance of solar wind dynamic pressure

Abstract The magnetopause is the boundary established by pressure balance between the solar wind flow in the magnetosheath and the magnetosphere. Generally, this pressure balance is represented to be between the solar wind, the dynamic pressure, and the magnetic pressure of Earth's dipole field...
