The magnetic field of the earth's magnetosphere.
Abstract
In the present paper, existing quantitative models of the earth's magnetosphere are critically analyzed, and the structure and principal sources of the magnetic field are discussed. The role of the field structure in the formation of the distribution of energetic particles in the magnetosphere is examined.
