</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Much of the plasma and magnetic flux transport in the terrestrial magnetotail occurs in the form of transient flow enhancements. They carry significant northward magnetic field intensifications and may cumulatively
account for a large portion of the entire earthward flux transport in the magnetotail. This alone makes them fundamentally important elementary building blocks of magnetospheric dynamics. These mesoscale structures also play a significant role in the energization
of plasma sheet particles, the build-up of the radiation belts and the ring current, kinetic wave generation and particle scattering, current generation and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. It is thus important to
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">characterize both global and micro-scale consequences of these mesoscale dynamics, not only at Earth but also in other planetary magnetospheres. This session solicits contributions using in situ and/or ground-based
observations along with theory and global or regional models that incorporate mesoscale processes to examine their impacts in magnetospheres throughout the Solar System.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
