HOUSTON, Texas, Dec. 21 -- Rice University issued the following news release:
* * *
- Physicists extend Rice Convection Model with details of magnetospheric buoyancy waves
* * *
The solar wind that pummels the Earth's dayside magnetosphere causes turbulence, like air over a wing. Physicists at Rice University have developed new methods to characterize how that influences space weather on the nightside.
It's rarely quiet up there. T . . .
