Scientific paper

It is for the plasmaspheric flux tube regions of the magnetospheric flux tubes that the greatest likelihood exists for a near-term, complete description of the plasma, since the magnetic field geometry is relatively well behaved and the plasma source and boundary conditions are specifiable with reasonable accuracy. It may be speculated that this emerging understanding may be useful in the study of the more complex dynamical behavior of plasma couplings within such other 'closed flux tube' geometries as the plasma sheet flux tubes, where ionospheric ions flow up to populate the flux tubes and precipitating particles from them produce the diffuse aurora.
