On some features characterizing the plasmasphere–magnetosphere–ionosphere system during the geomagnetic storm of 27 May 2017

Abstract: This paper presents how the magnetosphere–plasmasphere–ionosphere system was affected as a whole during the geomagnetic storm peaking on 27 May 2017. The interplanetary conditions, the magnetospheric response in terms of the magnetopause motion, and the ionospheric current flow pattern were investigated using data, respectively, from the WIND spacecraft, from GOES15, GOES13, THEMIS E, THEMIS D and THEMIS A satellites and from the INTERMAGNET magnetometer array. The main objective of the work is to investigate … Show more

“…Interestingly, both GOES satellites show a huge increase of the B x component (panels b and c) and a negative and then positive variation in the B y component (panels d and e). This behaviour is the signature of a strong stretching and twisting of the magnetospheric field lines during the main phase of the geomagnetic storm (Piersanti et al, 2012(Piersanti et al, , 2017. This scenario is confirmed by a modified Tsyganenko and Sitnov (TS04 * ; 2005) model indicated by red dashed lines in Fig.…”

“…In this section, the plasmasphere refilling problem is modeled as a single ion species ( H + ions) along with electrons and refilling along a 1D flux tube, without considering the curvature of the tube and neglecting the effects from Coulomb collisions. The time-dependent continuity and momentum equations are given below (Oran and Boris 2001): where t is time, x the spatial coordinate, n i,e the ion/ electron concentration, u i,e ion/electron velocity, m i,e the ion/electron mass, p i,e = n i,e kT the partial ion/electron pressure, T the constant temperature along the flux tube, k the Boltzmann constant, E the electric field and g(x) the spatially dependent gravitational force. Imposing quasi-neutrality gives rise to n i = n e and neglecting the electron mass in the electron momentum equation gives rise to an expression for the electric field given by E = −(kT /en i )(∂n i /∂x) .…”

“…The lowermost region of the magnetosphere is the plasmasphere (Banks et al,1971;Carpenter & Park, 1973;Darrouzet et al, 2009;Goldstein et al, 2002;Gringauz, 1963;Millian & Thorne, 2007;Pezzopane et al, 2019). It has been described in literature (Rasmussen & Schunk, 1988;Singh et al, 1986) as a toroidal mass of cold, 1 ev plasma, corotating with the Earth.…”
