Scientific paper

The specific entropy of the Earth's plasma sheet is central to the theory of transport within the plasma sheet, relating to the stability criterion for interchange motions and thus "bubble" formation. We here use the specific entropy parameter to characterize the stability of a global MHD model in the plasma sheet during a simulated substorm. We demonstrate that the earthward-penetrating fast-flow channels are predominantly depleted of entropy, and show this non-adiabaticity is likely caused by their association with localized reconnection regions.
