SM41E:
Comparative Studies of the Storm-Time Inner Magnetosphere I Posters


Session ID#: 7597

Session Description:
Geomagnetic storms are manifestations of strong coupling between the solar wind and Earth’s magnetosphere which result in dynamic changes of the ring current and radiation belts environment. Different solar cycle phases are associated with a variety of solar wind structures that drive geomagnetic storms. This session’s goal is to investigate energetic particles’ and fields’ evolution in the inner magnetosphere during storms. We solicit contributions describing new insights from in situ, global and ground based observations, as well as simulations of storm-time intervals for Solar Cycle 24 (e.g. during ongoing missions such as the Van Allen Probes, THEMIS, TWINS, IBEX, GOES, Cluster). We also encourage contributors to compare to storms from previous solar cycles (e.g. the CRRES era). With the current solar cycle entering its declining phase, this session will consider solar cycle dependences and variations of storms and how energetic particle populations contribute to and are affected by them.
