我们研究了亚暴和稳定的磁层对流(SMC)在磁层磁通量传输中的作用,使用活动磁层和行星电动力学响应实验观测场向电流。我们确定了两类亚暴,在磁纬65°以上和65°以下发生,它们显示出不同的夜侧场向电流形态。我们表明,低纬度的爆发发展了一个向极扩展的极光隆起,并将其确定为亚暴,表明了Grocott等人提出的极光隆起区域的电离层对流制动(2009,https://doi.org/10.5194/angeo-27-591-2009)。我们表明,高纬度亚暴,不经历制动,可以演变成SMC事件,如果行星际磁场保持向南的一段较长的时间后发病。我们的结论是,在持续的驱动期间,磁层显示重复的亚暴活动或SMC取决于驱动率和磁层的开放磁通量的内容之前发病。我们推测,亚暴事件是一个极端的情况下,反复发作和亚暴触发的行星际磁场北转向标志着SMC周期的停止。我们的研究结果提供了一个新的解释地球系统的不同模式的响应太阳风磁层电离层耦合通过调用电离层和大气之间的摩擦。
We study the role of substorms and steady magnetospheric convection (SMC) in magnetic flux transport in the magnetosphere, using observations of field‐aligned currents by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment. We identify two classes of substorm, with onsets above and below 65° magnetic latitude, which display different nightside field‐aligned current morphologies. We show that the low‐latitude onsets develop a poleward‐expanding auroral bulge, and identify these as substorms that manifest ionospheric convection‐braking in the auroral bulge region as suggested by Grocott et al. (2009, https://doi.org/10.5194/angeo-27-591-2009). We show that the high‐latitude substorms, which do not experience braking, can evolve into SMC events if the interplanetary magnetic field remains southward for a prolonged period following onset. We conclude that during periods of ongoing driving, the magnetosphere displays repeated substorm activity or SMC depending on the rate of driving and the open magnetic flux content of the magnetosphere prior to onset. We speculate that sawtooth events are an extreme case of repeated onsets and that substorms triggered by northward‐turnings of the interplanetary magnetic field mark the cessation of periods of SMC. Our results provide a new explanation for the differing modes of response of the terrestrial system to solar wind‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling by invoking friction between the ionosphere and atmosphere.
