Solar Wind’s Coupling with Magnetospheres and Ionospheres and Its Consequential Phenomena
Solar Wind’s Coupling with Magnetospheres and Ionospheres and Its Consequential Phenomena
Session ID#: 279345
Session Description:
Solar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) power and drive the dynamics in the geospace and planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres in the solar system. Characteristics of the processes involved in the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling are essential to be studied to better understand how mass, momentum and energy are transferred between these regions. The consequences of the coupling are also vital to be investigated to fully understand all phenomena that are controlled by the solar wind conditions, such as the magnetosphere configuration, plasma convection, electric currents. This session welcomes presentations on recent advances in the solar wind-magnetosphere and/or ionosphere coupling, including the space environments of both Earth and other planets in the solar system. Also, presentations connecting various ionospheric and auroral phenomena with their magnetospheric counterparts/solar wind drivers and exploring coupling mechanisms are invited. Studies discussing space-based and/or ground-based observations as well as theoretical and/or modelling perspectives are highly encouraged.
