Figure 10.
Integrated magnetic flux transported through the boundaries of the wedge region in the equatorial plane bounded by 20:00 and 04:00 magnetic local time on the sides and 6 and 8 R E along the radial direction. The black trace indicates the sum of all fluxes, that is, the total amount of magnetic flux accumulated in the wedge region over the 1 h period of the simulation (09:00–10:00 UT).
