Abstract

The physics of steady driven magnetic reconnection at Earth's subsolar magnetopause is addressed. Three‐dimensional, global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of the magnetopause are compared with analytical solutions of the resistive MHD equations [ Sonnerup and Priest, 1975 ] corresponding to ...
