Earth–Atmosphere–Ionosphere–Magnetosphere as Opened Dynamic Nonlinear Physical System
Abstract
The validation has been provided that the Earth-atmosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere system (EAIMS) is a complex open dynamic nonlinear system. The basic aspects of the system paradigm have been stated and they are illustrated by many instructive examples. The trigger mechanisms for energy release are demonstrated to be the most important property of the system.
It has been shown that highly energetic phenomena in the system give rise to a complex cluster of processes and to the reconstruction in the subsystem coupling.
It has been determined that energetic particle precipitation from the magnetosphere at middle latitudes accompanies the majority of nonsteady processes in the EAIMS.
