Magnetospheric reconnection driven by solar wind pressure fronts
Recent work has shown that solar wind dynamic pressure changes can have a dramatic effect on the particle precipitation in the high-latitude ionosphere. It has also been noted that the preexisting interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation can significantly affect the resulting changes in the size, location, and intensity of the auroral oval. Here we focus on the effect of pressure pulses ...
متن کاملMagnetospheric cavity modes driven by solar wind dynamic pressure fluctuations
[1] We present results from Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) global, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. We use these simulations to investigate the role that solar wind dynamic pressure fluctuations play in the generation of magnetospheric ultra-low frequency (ULF) pulsations. The simulations presented in this study are driven with idea...
متن کاملSolar wind driving of magnetospheric ULF waves: Field line resonances driven by dynamic pressure fluctuations
[1] Several observational studies suggest that solar wind dynamic pressure fluctuations can drive magnetospheric ultralow‐frequency (ULF) waves on the dayside. To investigate this causal relationship, we present results from Lyon‐Fedder‐Mobarry (LFM) global, three‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the solar wind–magnetosphere interaction. These simulations are driven with syn...
متن کاملSawtooth oscillations directly driven by solar wind dynamic pressure enhancements
[1] We have examined four well-defined events of sawtooth oscillations in energetic particle flux and magnetic field at geosynchronous orbit. During all four events, nearly simultaneous energetic particle flux enhancements and magnetic field variations occurred at all MLTs for each sawtooth cycle. Geomagnetic H component data at low to middle latitude also show a global H increase simultaneousl...
متن کاملMultiscale modeling of magnetospheric reconnection
[1] In our efforts to bridge the gap between small-scale kinetic modeling and global simulations, we introduced an approach that allows to quantify the interaction between large-scale global magnetospheric dynamics and microphysical processes in diffusion regions near reconnection sites. We use the global MHD code BATS-R-US and replace an ad hoc anomalous resistivity often employed by global MH...
