But the Earth is unique among planets because its atmosphere, magnetic eld, and rotation rates are each signi cant, though not dominant, players in the formation of its magnetosphere and its reaction to solar-wind inputs. An intriguing fact is that no matter what the time scale of solar-wind variations, the Earth’s response has a de nite pattern lasting a few hours. Known as a magnetospheric substorm, the response involves a build-up, a crash, and a recovery. The build-up (known as the growth phase) occurs because of an interlinking of the geom- netic eld and the solar-wind magnetic eld known as magnetic reconnection, which leads to storage of increasing amounts of magnetic energy and stress in the tail of the mag- tosphere and lasts about a half hour. The crash (known as the expansion phase) occurs when the increased magnetic | 出版日期 | Book 20091st edition | 关键词 | Orbit; Scale; Storm; aurorae observed from space; magnetosphere; magnetotail science; northern lights; sate | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-89820-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-2803-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-89820-9 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2009 |
