Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Earth’s Magnetotail From Observations and Global MHD Simulations

Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Earth’s Magnetotail From Observations and Global MHD Simulations

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulent flows are found in the solar wind, the magnetosheath and the magnetotail plasma sheet. In this paper, we review both observational and theoretical evidence for turbulent flow in the magnetotail. MHD simulations of the global magnetosphere for southward interplanet...
