Description: The derivation of the magnetosphere configuration is discussed, with consideration given to both descriptive models, which represent the observed magnetic field B and perhaps the electric field E, and physical models, which also include plasma effects. Consideration is given to global field models, static physical magnetohydrostatic models, slowly variable E, and MHD tail models, and to the type of data used for their derivation. It is emphasized that the current trend in derivation of magnetospheric models is for incorporating more physics( e.g., V x B) to match regions of observed current flow, plasma pressure obeying equilibrium conditions, E linked to interplanetary sources, and time-dependent convective flows.
