Previous models did not have a pre-defined magnetopause, they were calibrated by the Kp-index only, and thus did not allow proper modeling of solar wind effects. The new models explicitly include (i) the solar-wind-controlled magnetopause, (ii) Region 1 and 2 Birkeland currents, and (iii) the interconnection of the magnetospheric and solar wind fields at the boundary. They predict the most significant effects of solar wind variations upon the global magnetospheric structure.
