| Abstract: | This study investigates the statistical correlation between the power input into the magnetosphere due to reconnection and the subsequent dissipation of this energy in the magnetosphere as measured by the UT parameter (Perreault and Akasofu, 1978). It is found that of the three expressions for this energy input PW, PK (Gonzalez and Gonzalez, 1984) and ε (Perreault and Akasofu, 1975; Kan et al.,1980), PW yields the highest correlation with the energy consumption of the magnetosphere. |
