The Relative Importance of Geoeffective Length Versus Alfvén Wing Formation in the Saturation of the Ionospheric Reverse Convection Potential

Abstract We compare the relative importance of two competing mechanisms (Alfvén wing vs. magnetosheath force balance) in determining the saturation of the reverse convection potential under northward interplanetary magnetic field. We run the Lyon‐Fedder‐Mobarry magnetohydrodynamic model under strong...
