Probing Ring Current Properties From Multiple Satellite Data and Numerical Analyses
Abstract
In this paper, ring current energy content, angular distribution of ring current particle fluxes and accompanying fields characteristics will be examined in detail using THEMIS and Geotail measurements through case studies, aided with simulation results from the Comprehensive Ring Current Model. In particular, we will investigate the relationship between the ring current and SAPS electric fields in a global context, using the electric field measurements from THEMIS and simultaneous DMSP & radar observations of subauroral flows.
