Scientific paper

The solar wind is full of strong current sheets and sudden velocity shears. Often the two types of structures are co-located, so 10 or 20 times per day the Earth simultaneously experiences a sudden change in the magnetic-field direction and a sudden change in the solar-wind flow vector. Using data analysis and simulations, the reaction of the Earth's magnetosphere to these sudden changes is explored.
