Plasmapause, Convection, and Reconnection (2019)

unapi

Being one of the first generation of space scientists who entered this field right after the space became accessible to in situ observations, I had good luck of addressing some of the basic questions in this field from the early years of my carrier. These are development of global convection in the magnetosphere when the interplanetary magnetic field has the southward polarity, changes in the structure of the magnetotail leading to the onset of substorm expansion phase, and physics of the plasmapause formation. My career culminated with promotion and implementation of the Geotail spacecraft mission. In this article I shall present my personal recollections on these efforts including interactions with colleagues worldwide who shared the common interest.
