The Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Electron Precipitation Dynamics and Their Geospace Consequences During the 17 March 2013 Storm

Abstract: During geomagnetic storms and substorms, the magnetosphere and ionosphere are strongly coupled by precipitating magnetospheric electrons from the Earth's plasma sheet and driven by both magnetospheric and ionospheric processes. Magnetospheric wave activity initiates electron precipitation, and the ionosphere and upper atmosphere further facilitate this process by enhancing the value of precipitated energy fluxes via connection of two magnetically conjugate regions and multiple atmospheric reflections.

“…These correction factors are between 1.3 and 2.3, increasing with the characteristic energy of the initially precipitating electrons. Building on the Chen et al (2019) modeling results, these correction factors have been used by Khazanov et al (2019) within a kinetic drift physics approach, showing enhanced injection into the inner magnetosphere due to the higher conductance in the midlatitude nightside region.…”

“…Second, a decrease of SampEn(Dst) marks a surge of organization/complexity in the ring current dynamics. It is probably due to the organization of the enhanced ring current itself, as well as to the partial feedback from various loss or mitigation mechanisms that start operating within the inner magnetosphere-ionosphere system, hindering further ring current enhancements (Daglis et al, 1999;Ganushkina et al, 2015;Khazanov et Liemohn, 2016). The fast increase of organization/complexity in the ap time series during storms should similarly correspond to a global structuring of field-aligned currents flowing near the equatorial inner boundary of the convection region, over the course of successive substorm expansions and through the mediation of different loss and feedback mechanisms driven by wave-induced particle precipitation and the resulting strong variations in ionospheric conductivity (Khazanov et al, 2019;Liou et al, 2001;Lysak, 1990;Ridley et al, 2004;Zhang & Paxton, 2008).…”

“…Third, the different variations of Dst and ap dynamical complexities are not inconsistent with the present knowledge of the various processes involved during disturbed geomagnetic conditions. During moderate to strong geomagnetic storms, very fast injections of energetic ions and electric fields can transiently penetrate down to middle and even low latitudes within narrow channels, in the form of subauroral polarization streams (SAPS) or subauroral ion drifts (SAID), appearing during substorm onsets (AE increases) and adding an irregular and stochastic contribution to the ring current (Gonzales et al, 1983;Khazanov et al, 2019;Mishin et al, 2017;Soraas et al, 2004). A significant contribution to Dst from such fast injections, well quantified by the partly stochastic AE index, could possibly prevent Dst entropy from decreasing as fast as ap entropy.…”
