             abstract = "Due to the accumulation of data and theoretical work during the 
                         last decade, it has become conclusive the importance that magnetic 
                         field merging (MFM) between the interplanetary and terrestrial 
                         magnetic fields plays for the earth's magnetosphere. What MFM does 
                         for the magnetosphere can be summarized as follows. The topology 
                         of the closed geomagnetic field at the merging regions (dayside 
                         magnetopause and tail) changes to an OPEN configuration 
                         facilitating the entry of plasma and establishing of convection in 
                         the magnetosphere. The plasma enters the magnetosphere at the 
                         dayside through the northern and southern clefts and at the 
                         nightside from the tail, populating the plasma sheet. The less 
                         energetic components of the plasma contribute to convection and 
                         the more energetic ones populate the ring current, precipitate 
                         into the auroral regions via the cusps and may even contribute to 
                         populate the Van Allen belts. The power gained by the plasma due 
                         to the merging process and the stretching of the open field lines 
                         by the solar wind is enough to energize the magnetosphere.",
