Charged Particle Acceleration in Inner Magnetosphere.
Abstract
A quantitative model of the disturbed magnetospheric magnetic field has been developed. In it the fields produced by each of the three major magnetospheric current systems (magnetopause, ring, and tail) have been represented separately. This is necessary since during magnetically active periods the strengths and topology of these currents change. A template of a magnetic storm was developed in order to represent the associated time varying magnetic field. The magnetic vector potential was also represented. A knowledge of its time history can be used to determine the associated induced electric field. (Author)
