摘要:

通过对太阳风-磁层-电离层系统的三维全球磁流体动力学模拟,研究了在行星际磁场(IMF)为纯南向磁场的情况下,磁层重联电压、电离层跨极电势和场向电流(FACs)与太阳风驱动因子和电离层负载的关系.结果表明,重联电压和跨极电势随Pedersen电导($Σ_{\rm P}$)的减小、向南IMF强度($B_{\rm s}$)的增大和太阳风速度($v_{\rm sw}$)的增大而单调增大。此外,当$B_{\rm s}$和$v_{\rm sw}$增加时,区域1和区域2的FACs都增加,而两个电流响应于$Σ_{\rm P}$而表现不同。随着$Σ_{\rm P}$的增加,区域1 FAC单调增加,但区域2 FAC对$Σ_{\rm P}$的增加表现出非单调响应:它首先在(0,5)西门子范围内增加,然后在$Σ_P >$ 5西门子范围内减少。

英文摘要:

Three-dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the solar wind - magnetosphere - ionosphere system are carried out to explore the dependence of the magnetospheric reconnection voltage, the ionospheric transpolar potential, and the field aligned currents (FACs) on the solar wind driver and ionosphere load for the cases with pure southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). It is shown that the reconnection voltage and the transpolar potential increase monotonically with decreasing Pedersen conductance ($Σ_{\rm P}$), increasing southward IMF strength ($B_{\rm s}$) and solar wind speed ($v_{\rm sw}$). Moreover, both of the region 1 and the region 2 FACs increase when $B_{\rm s}$ and $v_{\rm sw}$ increase, whereas the two currents behave differently in response to $Σ_{\rm P}$. As $Σ_{\rm P}$ increases, the region 1 FAC increases monotonically, but the region 2 FAC shows a non-monotonic response to the increase of $Σ_{\rm P}$: it first increases in the range of (0, 5) Siemens and then decreases for $Σ_P >$ 5 Siemens.
