Abstract
We review the current understanding of the dynamics of the Earth’s magnetopause and boundary layers. We describe basic insights and recent advances concerning the main mechanisms that mediate solar wind energy, momentum and plasma transfer into the magnetosphere: magnetic reconnection, the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and diffusive processes. We also present more global aspects of magnetopause and boundary layer dynamics, focusing specifically on recent studies of global solar wind–magnetosphere coupling and on solar wind plasma pathways to the magnetotail.
