Geomagnetic Tail and Ring Current Dynamics and Structure during July 6, 2013 magnetic storm
Abstract
According to THEMIS and POES satellites the structure and spatial dimensions of ring current and geotal current system are restored. Using models of the main magnetic field of Earth (IGRF-11) and a magnetospheric magnetic field (A2000), the magnetic field of the currents other than the tail and the ring currents was subtracted from measurements. The hourly analysis of dynamics and position of current system of a tail was carried out. Evolution of ring current is estimated by data fluxes of STEB particles, measured by POES satellites at low latitudes. Isotropic boundary, determined by data of POES satellites, was projected to equatorial plane and compared with position of the inner edge of geomagnetic tail current, obtained from THEMIS measurements.
