Zwan-Wolf Effect

Zwan-Wolf Effect
The Zwan-Wolf effect is a process in which charged particles are squeezed and moved along magnetic field lines due to pressure created by the solar wind.

Discovered in 1976; earlier observed only in planetary magnetospheres.
Happens when the solar wind compresses near a planet’s magnetic field, creating pressure differences.
NASA’s MAVEN recently detected this effect in the atmosphere of Mars for the first time.
