2 Solar wind - Magnetosphere Coupling: Energy Storage and Release B IMF! Magnetopause! Bow Shock! Solar Wind! Inductive energy is accumulated in the magnetotail via interaction with the solar wind. Stored energy is released impulsively into the atmosphere as heat, ionization, radiation, and bulk acceleration of gases.

27 Conclusion Dissipation of magnetospheric free energy occurs through a cascade of spatial scales, extending from ~100 km to ~10 cm. The role of small scale variability in modifying the energy dissipation process is poorly understood.
