Ionosphere-Thermosphere (IT) Response to Solar Wind Forcing During Magnetic Storms

Huang, Cheryl Yu-Ying; Huang, Yanshi; Su, Yi-Jiun; Sutton, Eric K.; Hairston, Marc Rotan; Coley, William Robin (EDP Sciences S A, 2016-01-25)

During magnetic storms, there is a strong response in the ionosphere and thermosphere which occurs at polar latitudes. Energy input in the form of Poynting flux and energetic particle precipitation, and energy output in ...

Coincident Observations by the Kharkiv IS Radar and Ionosonde, DMSP and Arase (ERG) Satellites, and FLIP Model Simulations: Implications for the NRLMSISE-00 Hydrogen Density, Plasmasphere, and Ionosphere

Kotov, D. V.; Richards, P. G.; Truhlík, V.; Bogomaz, O. V.; Shulha, M. O.; Maruyama, N.; Hairston, Marc R.; Miyoshi, Y.; Kasahara, Y.; Kumamoto, A.; Tsuchiya, F.; Matsuoka, A.; Shinohara, I.; Hernández-Pajares, M.; Domnin, I. F.; Zhivolup, T. G.; Emelyanov, L. Y.; Chepurnyy, Y. M.

This paper reports the results of ionosphere and plasmasphere observations with the Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar and ionosonde, Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, and Arase (ERG) satellites and simulations with ...

The Ion/Electron Temperature Characteristics of Polar Cap Classical and Hot Patches and their Influence on Ion Upflow

Ma, Y. -Z; Zhang, Q. -H; Xing, Z. -Y; Heelis, Roderick A.; Oksavik, K.; Wang, Y.

The term of “polar cap hot patch” is a newly identified high-density plasma irregularity at high latitudes, which is associated with high electron temperature and particle precipitation, while a classical polar cap patch ...

Testing Nowcasts of the Ionospheric Convection from the Expanding and Contracting Polar Cap Model

Walach, M. -T; Milan, S. E.; Yeoman, T. K.; Hubert, B. A.; Hairston, Marc R. (Amer Geophysical Union, 2017-04-20)

The expanding/contracting polar cap (ECPC) model, or the time-dependent Dungey cycle, provides a theoretical framework for understanding solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. The ECPC describes the relationship ...

An Auroral Boundary-Oriented Model of Subauroral Polarization Streams (SAPS)

Landry, Russell G.; Anderson, Phillip C.

An empirical model of subauroral polarization stream (SAPS) electric fields has been developed using measurements of ion drifts and particle precipitation made by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program from 1987 to ...

The Radiation Belt Electron Scattering by Magnetosonic Wave: Dependence on Key Parameters

Lei, Mingda; Xie, Lun; Li, Jinxing; Pu, Zuyin; Fu, Suiyan; Ni, Binbin; Hua, Man; Chen, Lunjin; Li, Wen (Amer Geophysical Union, 2018-10-22)

Magnetosonic (MS) waves have been found capable of creating radiation belt electron butterfly distributions in the inner magnetosphere. To investigate the physical nature of the interactions between radiation belt electrons ...
