Viscous-type processes in the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction

A debate of long standing concerns the role viscous interactions play in magnetospheric dynamics. Is it minor or is it central to, e.g., drive the low latitude boundary layer on closed field lines and account for the substantial level of wave activity seen on the flanks? Newer data and theoretical c...
