Global comparison of MMS, Cluster and Themis data on January, 4th 2017, with PIC EM code in the vicinity of the Earth's magnetosphere.
Abstract
IMF orientation values and plasma number densities are surveyed for three spacecraft, MMS, Themis and Cluster. The 4.5 seconds of data survey of MMS and the corresponding times scales of Cluster and Themis are compared with 2 seconds of PIC EM Relativistic code step time. Four IMF orientations are considered in 3D in the code simulations, South, North, Radial and duskdawn directions. The code output data will be transformed to spacecraft positions and compared accordingly. The ions and electrons dy- namics in the foreshock, reconnection, cusps dynamics and other physical parameters are considered in the cur- rent study. The updated version of the code, include, planet tilt 10 deg, space resolution of 0.1 RE and mass ratio of 64
