Scientific paper

A simple two-dimensional model is developed for the perpendicular flow dynamics of boundary layers on closed magnetic field lines in the equatorial magnetosphere. The basic model equations are developed, the spectral representation is presented, and the behavior of nonlocal damping effects as a function of wavenumber is discussed. One-dimensional flows are analyzed with applications to the low-latitude boundary layer and the dynamics of an internal magnetospheric shear layer. A comparison between a particular boundary layer equilibrium state and observations of an ionospheric boundary layer region is also presented.
