The density of the solar wind plasma near the Earth’s magnetosphere sometimes decreases to only several per cent of the usual value, and such density extrema result in a significant reduction of the dynamic pressure and Alfvén Mach number (
M
A
) of the solar wind flow. While a symmetric expansion of the Earth’s magnetosphere by the low dy...
