Self-Consistent Effects of Magnetospheric Hydromagnetic Waves on Ring Current Ions
Abstract
Major progress was made in obtaining an explanation for the rapid formation of new electron and proton radiation belts during the March 30, 1991 geomagnetic storm sudden commencement. Preliminary work on proton acceleration during the same event was reported at the Fall AGU meeting in December, an important feature of the simulation code that has been developed is the ability to post-process data runs after the trajectories of several hundred thousand ions or electrons have been followed through the inbound and outbound propagation time of the wave fields, which is about 100 seconds of real time, As a first step in the development of the three-dimensional MHD fluid-gyrokinetic particle hybrid code, a three-dimensional MHD version of the code in generalized orthogonal coordinates has been developed.
