[PEM10-P13] Ionospheric role in the development of the M-I convection system: generation of Alfvénic disturbances from the ionospheric convection field deformed by conductance non-uniformity
キーワード：磁気圏電離圏結合、磁気圏MHDシミュレーション
We investigate how the ionosphere affects the magnetosphere by using a global magnetosphere MHD model.
First, we perform the simulation with the widely used conventional M-I coupling scheme.
We simulate the uniform and non-uniform ionospheric Hall conductance distribution cases. By using the Walén Separation [Yoshikawa et al., 2011], we separate the simulated disturbance field into the components propagating into/away from the inner boundary (Alfvénic disturbances). In the cases of non-uniform Hall conductance, the Alfvénic disturbances propagate dawn-dusk asymmetrically between the magnetosphere and ionosphere, resulting the dawn-dusk asymmetric magnetospheric convection field, including a Harang-like structure.
The result indicates that the ionosphere plays an active role in the configuration and dynamics of the global magnetosphere due to its non-uniform conductance distribution, as suggested by Nakamizo and Yoshikawa [2019].
In order to precisely investigate the role of the ionosphere, we are implementing an advanced M-I coupling scheme, Alfvénic Coupling [Yoshikawa et al., 2010] into the MHD model. We will show the results of the new coupling and compare them with that of the conventional coupling.
