Short summary
Understanding how solar wind interacts with Earth’s protective magnetic shield is a frontier issue in space physics, critical for predicting space weather risks. However, most existing magnetopause models cannot capture this time-dependent process, and numerical simulations demand significant computational resources. We have developed the first time-dependent 3D model capable of showing these shield changes. It is significantly more precise and performs nearly instant computations.
