2 Why (or when do we need to) worry about the complications of SW-M-I-T coupling? M, I and T are especially interactive for strong SW driving Model predictions don t do well w/o coupling Utility depends on the fidelity of prediction: Space weather Understanding is demonstrated by prediction The coupled M-I-T system is equisitely complex and interesting 2
3 What might you learn from this tutorial? (or be reassured you that what you once thought was true is still true) Coupling agents Pathways (coupled) and feedback Electromagnetic Material Insights into M-I-T coupling Coupling during storms (with data-model comparisons) 3

Enhanced convection & entrainment of dayside O + into polar circulation auroral O + ion outflow Regions of enhanced Poynting fluxes, soft electron precipitation, structured FACs Liu et al. 05 Joule heating, upwelling, etc. Foster et al. 05 needs attention in system context 7
8 Empirical convection: Increasing strength of SW driving Weimer model Dungey CW rotation of the convection pattern Cycle when viewed from above NP Stronger Magnetopause driving: location: Convection v 2 is sw faster = 4B(r) and 2 /2 extends 0 (Better: to Shue lower et latitudes al., 1998) Excess flux circulation in dusk cell Harang region Weimer-2005 model 8
9 Empirical convection: Effect of IMF B y Weimer model Channelized fast flow NH cusp, PC pulled duskward No mirror symmetry with change in sign of B y (Heppner 1972) NH cusp, PC pulled dawnward Over flux circulation reverses: Now higher in dawn cell 9

21 Change in Thermospheric Density due to Soft Electron Precipitation Difference between CMIT simulations w/ and w/o soft electron precipitation (BBE, cusp) Difference between CHAMP accelerometer measurements and MSIS90 model results Comparisons at 400 km altitude. CHAMP data are averages for 2002 for intervals of Kp = 0 2. CMIT results are a 1-hour averages for V sw = 400 km/s, n sw = 5 cm -3, IMF B z = 5 nt, F 10.7 =
22 Standard CMIT simulation for the storm Neutral mass density g/m 3 Zhang et al CMIT tracks CHAMP reasonably well for weak driving ( UT) CMIT overestimates ( x2) the CHAMP mass density during the main phase ( UT) Question: What s missing in the model during the main-phase simulation? Plasmaspheric effects? Ionospheric outflows?? 22

24 Brambles et al
25 Effects of ionospheric O + outflow on stormtime substorms Observations and modeling studies show that outflows of ionospheric O + are important in stormtime solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, especially during CME-driven storms exhibiting sawtooth oscillations. Note: Simulated onsets (with outflow) occur but are delayed 1.5 hr relative to observed onsets. Do O + outflows influence the stormtime F-region neutral density? 25
26 Controlled Simulation Experiments CMIT with: Gallagher et al. [1988] statistical H + plasmasphere initialized at 0:00 UT 24 Aug 2005 but not sustained. Two types of O + outflow Fixed outflow flux: No causal regulation 26

28 Orbit-Averaged Neutral Density Compared to CHAMP Baseline Gallagher plasmasphere Auroral O + PW O + Auroral O + x2 CHAMP CMIT g/m 3 Zhang et al
29 Effects of O + on M-I Coupling Plasmaspheric H + : Little effect on CPCP, fieldaligned current Polar wind O + : Reduces CPCP Auroral O + outflow: Reduces CPCP, increases ring current intensity (but not enough and not sustained in these simulations) kv nt MA GW 8000 Baseline Gallagher plasmasphere Auroral O + PW O + Auroral O + x2 Actual Dst DST Baseline Gallagher plasmasphere Auroral O + PW O + Hemispheric power is similar in all four runs between UT but with different polar cap distributions Zhang et al

31 Key Points: Auroral precipitation Increases meridional gradient in E-region conductivity Ionosphere polarizes at the gradient Exacerbates dawn-dusk asymmetry in ionospheric convection plasmasheet fast flows Why does the M-I system maintain nearly divergence-free Hall currents? 31
32 Key Points: Soft electron precipitation Produced by direct-entry (cusp) and conversion of Alfvén wave power to fieldaligned electrons (cusp and nightside convection throat) Enhances conductivity in the bottomside F-region Joule heating is enhanced there neutral mass density is elevated at CHAMP altitude (but it increases too much) 32
33 Key Points: O + ionospheric outflows Lowers reconnection rate (dayside and nightside Lower CPCP Slower convection Less Joule heating, esp. in polar cap Auroral outflows have greatest impact Do ionospheric outflows directly affect the neutral gas and vice-versa? 33
