Scientific paper

Assuming the earth's magnetopause to be a one-dimensional tangential discontinuity, the transport of energy and momentum on both sides of the magnetopause caused by unstable compressional Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) waves are investigated using a linear approximation. The results show that the compressible K-H instability has an important effect on the coupling between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.
