SUMMARY
Energy exchange processes between plasma-dominated environments and magnetic_field dominated environments is a big unknown. Earth`s coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system provides a small astrophysical volume in which these parameters vary by eight orders of magnitude, ranging from the plasma-dominated plasmasheet, to the magnetic_field dominated ionosphere, where collisions become important, in particular with atmospheric neutrals. Solar wind plasma is a highly structured and turbulent medium that evolves in time and space and supports a variety of wave modes and the intrinsic large-scale topological discontinuities and solar wind plasmas that are frozen-in . . .
