Multi-fluid simulations of the magnetosphere: The identification of the geopause and its variation with IMF

A new multi‐fluid global treatment is presented that separately tracks the solar wind and ionospheric plasmas in the magnetosphere. The model is used to identify the density and pressure geopauses, i.e. the boundaries where the contributions to the magnetospheric density or pressure from the ionosph...
