Polar cut (XY plane) of the pressure balance. Simulation without IMF and P_d = 1.2 nPa, isocontour of(a) P_d, (b) P_mag and (c) P_th. Simulation with northward |B_IMF| = 100 nT and P_d= 1.2 nPa, isocontour of(e) P_d, (f) P_mag, and (g) P_th. Simulation with northward |B_IMF| = 50 nT and P_d= 60 nPa, isocontour of(i) P_d, (j) P_mag, and (k) P_th. Panels d, h, and l show the total pressure (P_tot = P_d + P_mag + P_mag,sw + P_th) normalized to the SW dynamic pressure (isocontour) as well as the isolines of P_d (white line), P_th (green line), P_mag (red line), and P_mag,sw (pink line), including the respective isoline values (colored characters).
