Scientific paper

A brief summary is presented of recent progress in estimating the rates of energy, momentum and mass transport of the solar wind through the magnetopause in terms of an analysis of the non-linear stage of various plasma instabilities. It is shown that the energy supply to the earth's magnetosphere is due to reconnection on the dayside magnetopause and its dissipation during magnetospheric substorms, being controlled by both the interplanetary field parameters and by the dynamic pressure of the solar wind.
