Poleward Moving Radar Auroral Forms as Ionospheric Fossils of Magnetopause Reconnection During a Geomagnetic Storm
THREE-DIMENSIONAL MAGNETOSPHERE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS DURING GEOMAGNETIC STORMS I POSTER
spa-magnetospheric physics | 15 december 2023
Ying Zou, Li-Jen Chen, Brian Walsh, Brandon L. Bur...
We study the impact of magnetopause reconnection on the dayside ionosphere during a geomagnetic storm. Magnetopause reconnection is known to drive fas...
