Global Hybrid Versus MHD Modeling of the Magnetosphere: Density and Magnetic Field

Visualizations by Liam Krauss Released on December 12, 1996
This series of animations compares a two-dimensional global hybrid simulation with an magnetohydrodynamic model of the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetosphere.
