Solar Wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling: Multiscale Study with Computational Models

Solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere (SW-M-I) coupling is investigated with three different computational models that characterize space plasma dynamics on distinct spatial/temporal scales. These models are used to explore three important aspects of SW-M-I coupling. A particle-in-cell (PIC) model has...
