Scientific paper

Using the University of Michigan MHD code, we have simulated the magnetospheric and ionospheric configuration for a number of different extreme solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field conditions. We have calculated magnetopause standoff distances and bowshock locations for a wide range of solar wind and IMF conditions, and compare these with data. The thickness of the magnetosheath is examined to attempt to determine time delays of propagating features from the bowshock to the magnetopause. We further examine the saturation of the cross polar cap potential for strongly negative IMF Bz and the influence of the solar wind dynamic pressure on the cross polar cap potential.
