Effect of uniform external pressure and oblique incidence of the solar wind on the terminal shape of the geomagnetic field / by John R. Spreiter and Audrey L. Summers.

Approximate solutions and numerical results are given for the coordinates of the boundary separating the geomagnetic field from the interplanetary plasma for a ±35° range of angles between the direction of the incident stream and the geomagnetic equatorial plane for a model that assumes the plasma p...
