Abstract

The magnetic reconnection of magnetosphere and the magnetospheric space storms (including magnetospheric substorm, magnetic storm, magnetospheric particle storm) has long been one of the most challenging subjects in the solar-terrestrial physics. The reconnection mechanism and global triggering process of the magnetospheric space storms are still unclear up to now. Based on the Double Star Program (DSP) and Cluster joint measurements, we have observed the solar wind density hole, the component magnetic field reconnection in the magnetopause, the structures of magnetic storm ring current, global and multi-scale driven and triggering processes of magnetospheric substorm. In this paper we will briefly introduce these results.
