Earth's magnetospheric cusps

MF Smith, M Lockwood - Reviews of Geophysics, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
Earth's cusps are magnetic field features in the magnetosphere associated with regions
through which plasma from the Sun can have direct access to the upper atmosphere …

A statistical study of the ionospheric convection response to changing interplanetary magnetic field conditions using the assimilative map** of ionospheric …

AJ Ridley, G Lu, CR Clauer… - Journal of Geophysical …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
We examine 65 ionospheric convection changes associated with changes in the Y and Z
components of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We measure the IMF reorientations …

A simple illustrative model of open flux tube motion over the dayside magnetopause

SWH Cowley, CJ Owen - Planetary and Space Science, 1989 - Elsevier
An analytic theoretical model is set up of open flux tube motion over the dayside
magnetopause, based on a number of simplifying assumptions. The theory does not seek to …

Ionosphere-thermosphere space weather issues

RW Schunk, JJ Sojka - Journal of Atmospheric and Terrestrial Physics, 1996 - Elsevier
Weather disturbances in the ionosphere-thermosphere system can have a detrimental effect
on both ground-based and space-based systems. Because of this impact and because our …

Observations of the response time of high-latitude ionospheric convection to variations in the interplanetary magnetic field using EISCAT and IMP-8 data
