Temporal Correlation between Ionospheric Storm-Enhanced Density Plume and Plasmaspheric Plume Occurrence
Xiangning Chu, Shunrong Zhang, Jacob Bortnik +5
We present a statistical evidence of a temporal correlation between ionospheric storm-enhanced density (SED) and plasmaspheric plumes during magnetic storms. We identified SED plum…

Electron Temperature Gradients Regulate the Duration of Two-Stage Plasmasphere Refilling
Jaden Fitzpatrick, Kausik Chatterjee, Naomi Maruyama +5
After geomagnetic storms erode the plasmasphere, cold ionospheric plasma flows along magnetic field lines to refill the depleted flux tubes. Previous studies have suggested that re…

An Enhanced "Flux-Corrected Transport"-Based Plasmasphere Refilling Model
Jaden Fitzpatrick, Kausik Chatterjee, Naomi Maruyama
A previously developed multi-ion, two-stream Flux-Corrected Transport (FCT) hydrodynamic model for plasmasphere refilling has been extended to incorporate self-consistent electron…
