Scientific paper

One of the greatest challenges in space plasma physics is the physical process or processes responsible for onsets of magnetospheric substorm expansions. As solar wind essentially provides the overall energy input into the magnetosphere, sudden changes in the solar wind and/or its embedded magnetic field are likely candidates to trigger these onsets. In this presentation, we review several prevailing substorm models and assess their predictions on what are identified in the solar wind as substorm triggers. Furthermore, we shall discuss what conditions these solar wind triggers create within the magnetosphere that may lead to the development of substorm expansions.
