Snapshot (at t ≃ 9.5 hr) of the magnetic field lines connected to the 20 synthetic spacecraft located at ϕ = 0^∘ for (a) Run A and (b) Run B projected onto (top) the meridional plane and (bottom) the equatorial plane. The synthetic spacecraft that cross the meridional plane are represented by yellow spheres. The field lines are colored by the (scaled) magnitude and sign of the B_T component. The animated version of this figure shows the evolution of these 20 field lines throughout the temporal domain of the simulations from 0 to 20 hr, corresponding to code units from 200.0 to 250.0 in increments of 0.5 (12 minutes). The animation has a total real-time duration of 7 s.
