Ionospheric control of the magnetospheric configuration: Thermospheric neutral winds
[1] In this study we present the first results from the University of Michigan’s coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere general circulation model. This code is a combination of the Michigan MHD model with the NCAR thermosphere-ionosphereelectrodynamics general circulation model (TIEGCM). The MHD code provides specification of the high-latitude ionospheric electric potential and the parti...
متن کاملSimultaneous ionospheric and magnetospheric observations of azimuthally propagating transient features during substorms
During the 6 August 1995, the CUTLASS Finland HF radar ran in a high time resolution mode, allowing measurements of line-of-sight convection velocities along a single beam with a temporal resolution of 14 s. Data from such scans, during the substorm expansion phase, revealed pulses of equatorward ̄ow exceeding 600 m s with a duration of 5 min and a repetition period of 8 min. Each pulse of enha...
متن کاملEffects of magnetospheric lobe cell convection on dayside upper thermospheric winds at high latitudes
This paper investigates a possible physical mechanism of the observed dayside high-latitude upper thermospheric wind using numerical simulations from the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (CMIT) model. Results show that the CMIT model is capable of reproducing the unexpected afternoon equatorward winds in the upper thermosphere observed by the High altitude Interferometer WIND obser...
متن کاملThe 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 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...
