Abstract
⺠MHD simulations allow study of magnetospheric behavior on a global scale. ⺠Exchanges of magnetic flux between reservoirs give coherence to magnetospheric behavior. ⺠Transfer of flux between reservoirs induces anomalously strong winds in the upper atmosphere. ⺠Resulting thermospheric winds are pushed mainly by magnetic coupling to the solid earth. ⺠The magnetosphere is coherently coupled from the bow shock to the solid earth itself.
