Block, L.P., Fälthammar, C.-G., Rothwell, P.L. and Silevitch, M.B. (1998). Advantages of electric circuit models for treating the substorm breakup problem. Journal of Geophysical Research 103: doi: 10.1029/97JA03684. issn: 0148-0227.

It is shown, by using a circuit model for the magnetospheric current system, that the substorm breakup can be triggered either by some instability anywhere in the circuit or by a decrease in the generator emf, i.e., a northward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
