On the topology of the geomagnetic field
Abstract
Questions of static quiet-time topology are considered, taking into account the magnetohydrodynamic approximation for the plasma sheet, the Mead-Fairfield model, and observations reported by Sugiura et al. (1971). Currently used field models are compared. The topology derived from energetic particle observations is discussed along with the magnetospheric topology at disturbed times.
