The effect of nonlinear ionospheric conductivity enhancement on magnetospheric substorms
We introduce the effect of enhanced ionospheric conductivity into a low-order, physics-based nonlinear model of the nightside magnetosphere called WINDMI. The model uses solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) parameters from the ACE satellite located at the L1 point to predict substorm growth, onset, expansion and recovery measured by the AL index roughly 50–60 min in advance. The d...
متن کاملProblems with mapping the auroral oval and magnetospheric substorms
Accurate mapping of the auroral oval into the equatorial plane is critical for the analysis of aurora and substorm dynamics. Comparison of ion pressure values measured at low altitudes by Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites during their crossings of the auroral oval, with plasma pressure values obtained at the equatorial plane from Time History of Events and Macroscale In...

متن کاملCUTLASS/IMAGE observations of high-latitude convection features during substorms
The CUTLASS Finland HF radar has been operational since February 1995. The radar frequently observes backscatter during the midnight sector from a latitude range 70±75° geographic, latitudes often associated with the polar cap. These intervals of backscatter occur during intervals of substorm activity, predominantly in periods of relatively quiet magnetospheric activity, with Kp during the inte...
متن کاملThe transition to continuous unloading: Di erentiating storms and substorms in magnetospheric dynamics
We present a new paradigm for the driving of storms and substorms. Using a model that tracks the major energy components of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system, we demonstrate that both storms and substorms can be obtained from the same dynamical system for di erent levels of forcing. To say that storms are made up of substorms would be incorrect. Instead we see that periodic substorms result f...
