Scientific paper

The solar wind interaction with the magnetosphere takes place on many scales ranging from global scale current systems to mesoscale processes like ionospheric outflows, to microscale phenomena involving kinetic effects and reconnection. This talk will discuss a new computational tool, the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF), that was specifically designed to self-consistently couple different physics domains described by different approximate models. SWMF can couple global MHD codes to kinetic drift physics models (such as RCM), as well as other mesoscale and/or microscale codes. We will show several simulations and data comparisons investigating the effects of various processes on the configuration and dynamics of the magnetosphere.
