The Earth’s Magnetosphere as a System and the Development of a System Tool
A system science description of the Earth’s magnetosphere is given and an assessment of the properties (adjectives) of the system is made. To develop an analysis tool for the magnetospheric system, vector-vector correlation is used to find mathematical connections between the time-dependent solar wind and the magnetosphere’s reaction to the solar wind. Exploration with the vector-vector tool is yielding a highly predictable description of magnetospheric activity and it is uncovering various modes of reaction of the system to the solar wind.
All attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees and staff, and to adhere to the NAM Code of Conduct.
