Fig. 8From: Asymmetric deformation of the Earth’s magnetosphere under low Alfvén Mach number solar wind: Observations and MHD simulationResults of a global MHD simulation at 14:30 UT, showing a dawn-dusk asymmetry of the magnetosphere in shape. a Plasma density with plasma flow vectors in the XY plane and b \(V_Y\) contour with flowlines are displayed. The Geotail location is shown by a black triangleBack to article page
