Multiple convection cells induced by in‐front and off‐front interactions between the obliquely northward IMF and the geomagnetic field

Published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2024

From the global simulation, we reproduce the solar wind‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere (S‐M‐I) interaction under the northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) with negative By. Reconnection structures, the plasma sheet, and lobes are formed in magnetospheric convection, while lobe/round‐merging/reciprocal/ nightside cells appear in the ionosphere…
