Scientific paper

Some aspects of energy transfer from the solar wind to the Earth´s magnetosphere during high speed stream arrivals are discussed in the context of a summation of short agnetopause reconnection events, associated with the quasi periodic behavior of the IMF Bz component within interplanetary Alfven wave trains. A global magnetospheric MHD simulation is used to illustrate the response of the near-Earth plasma sheet to the changing character of IMF Bz during idealized HILDCAA (High-ntensity, Long-Duration, Continuous AE activity) events, associated with some high speed streams. It is argued that HILDCAAs are a new type of geomagnetic activity, substantially different from substorms or storms.
