Recent advances in modeling these processes have resulted in direct measurement of the magnetic fields and plasma parameters in physical units as opposed to empirical ones.7 pagesen-USThis work was written as part of one of the author's official duties as an Employee of the United States Government and is therefore a work of the United States Government.
