abstract = "Magnetic reconnection can be a continuous or a transient process.
Global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations are important tools
to understand the relevant magnetic reconnection mechanisms and
the resulting magnetic structures. We have studied magnetopause
reconnection using a global 3-D MHD simulation in which the
interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has been set to large positive
By and large negative Bz components, i.e., a south-duskward
direction. Flux tubes have been observed even during these
constant solar wind conditions. We have focused on the interlinked
flux tubes event resulting from time-dependent, patchy and
multiple reconnection. At the event onset, two reconnection modes
seem to occur simultaneously: a timedependent, patchy and multiple
reconnection for the subsolar region; and, a steady and
large-scale reconnection for the regions far from the subsolar
site.",
