Data Mining Reconstruction of Magnetotail Reconnection and Implications for Its First-Principle Modeling

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process providing topological changes of the magnetic field, reconfiguration of space plasmas and release of energy in key space weather phenomena, solar flares, coronal mass ejections and magnetospheric substorms. Its multiscale nature is difficult to study in...
