Fig. 10From: Two current systems in the preliminary phase of sudden commencements in the magnetosphereValues of a \({{\varvec{v}}}_{\perp }\cdot \rho {\left(\frac{D{\varvec{v}}}{Dt}\right)}_{\perp }\), b \({v}_{\perp }\cdot {\nabla }_{\perp }p\), and c \({{\varvec{J}}}_{\perp }\cdot {{\varvec{E}}}_{\perp }\) in the post-noon sector of the equatorial plane at t = 5.5 min. The line contours of each panel indicate equi-contour lines of the pressure. See Fig. 6 caption for the description of the red circleBack to article page
