Comparison of photometer and global MHD determination of the open‐closed field line boundaryournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 109(A1), [pp

Liu, W., Wanliss, J. A., Kabin, Konstantin, Gombosi, Tamas I., Fenrich, F. R., Rae, I. Jonathan, Ridley, Aaron J., De Zeeuw, Darren L., Rankin, Robert
We compare open-closed field line boundary positions from the BATS-R-US Global MHD model and CANOPUS photometer measurements of red-line emissions. We choose intervals of steady interplanetary and ionospheric conditions in order to adhere to the \"steady-state'' picture that we are trying to...

Comparison of the open‐closed separatrix in a global magnetospheric simulation with observations: The role of the ring current

Kabin, Konstantin, Lu, J. Y., Rankin, Robert, Gombosi, Tamas I., Watt, Clare E. J., Ridley, Aaron J., Toth, Gabor, Milan, Steve E., Zhang, Jichun, Rae, I. Johnathan, Clauer, C. Robert, De Zeeuw, Darren L., Fenrich, Frances
The development of global magnetospheric models, such as Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF), which can accurately reproduce and track space weather processes has high practical utility. We present an interval on 5 June 1998, where the location of the polar cap boundary, or open-closed field...

Dipole tilt effects on the magnetosphere‐ionosphere convection system during interplanetary magnetic field BY‐dominated periods: MHD modeling

Kabin, Konstantin, Rankin, Robert, Gombosi, Tamas I., Sofko, George J., Ridley, Aaron J., Watanabe, Masakazu
Using numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we examine the dipole tilt effects on the magnetosphere-ionosphere convection system when the interplanetary magnetic field is oblique northward (B-Y = 4 nT and B-Z = 2 nT). In particular, we clarify the relationship between viscous-driven...

Papitashvili, V., Clauer, C. Robert, Kabin, Konstantin, Gombosi, Tamas I., DeZeeuw, Darren L., Rankin, Robert, Marchand, Richard, Ridley, Aaron J.
In this paper we use a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model to study the response of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system to a sudden change in the sign of the By component of the interplanetary magnetic field. We find that after such a change the magnetosphere responds as a linear...

We investigate parallel electron acceleration due to inertial Alfven wave pulses in the presence of Lorentzian ( kappa) distribution functions which possess high-energy tails. A linear kinetic dispersion relation for inertial Alfven waves is derived whose solutions are used to guide the analysis...

Watt, Clare E. J., Hodgson, Cory R., Forsyth, Colin, Degeling, Alex W., Murphy, K. R., Rankin, Robert, Mann, Ian R., Rostoker, Gordon, Frey, Harald U., Rae, I. Johnathan
In this paper, we show that periodic auroral arc structures are seen at the location of one particular auroral substorm onset for the 15 min preceding onset, suggesting that field line resonances should be considered a strong candidate for triggering substorm onset. Irrespective of whether this...

Wright, Darren M., Watt, Clare E. J., Rae, I. Johnathan, Rankin, Robert
We present results from self-consistent simulations of the electron response to shear Alfvén pulses in the presence of non-uniform magnetic fields and the associated mirror force. We discuss how energies of resonantly accelerated beam particles are affected by the local phase velocity of the...

Rankin, Robert, Ridley, Aaron J., Gombosi, Tamas I., Clauer, C. Robert, Watanabe, Masakazu, Kabin, Konstantin, Sofko, George J.
On the basis of magnetohydrodynamic simulation results for northward interplanetary magnetic field ( IMF) and significant dipole tilt, we describe internal reconnection processes that occur earthward of the magnetopause subsequent to magnetopause reconnection. We discuss the associated...

De Zeeuw, Darren L., Clauer, C. Robert, Kabin, Konstantin, Gombosi, Tamas I., Rostoker, Gordon, Rankin, Robert, Rae, I. Johnathan, Marchand, Richard, Ridley, Aaron J.
In this paper we investigate the effect of changes in the interplanetary magnetic field ( IMF), solar wind dynamic pressure, and dipole tilt angle on the position of the ionospheric projection of the open-closed field line boundary (OCB) in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. We carry out a large...
