Investigating the Role of Sub-Auroral Polarization Stream Electric Field in Coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Systemwide Processes

Abstract

The proposed research is to investigate energy deposition into the ionosphere (I) and thermosphere (T) system and related underlying physical processes during geomagnetic storms with the goal to improve current scientific understanding of high-latitude energetics by providing new insights. PI team has investigated a number of geomagnetic storms and magnetically disturbed time periods, and the various ionospheric plasma density features appearing such as storm enhanced density (SED), mid-latitude trough, and polar tongue of ionization (TOI).
