Global Hybrid Versus MHD Modeling of the Magnetosphere: Magnetic Potential

This series of animations compares a two-dimensional global hybrid simulation with an magnetohydrodynamic model of the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetosphere.

Contour lines of the z-component of the magnetic potential are compared for a 2D global hybrid simulation and a magnetohydrodynamic model of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction
