Abstract We initially review magnetospheric plasma distributions emphasising the explanative power of the open model of the magnetosphere. Next we turn attention to the role of MHD wave phenomena both as transients and as standing structures in the coupled flow system. Finally the physics of the magnetopause flux transfer events is discussed. The logic of the existing interpretation suggests a miniature twin vortex convection system should be created in part of the polar cap ionosphere magnetically connecting to the magnetopause flux tube.
