The response of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system to a sudden dynamic pressure enhancement under southward IMF conditions

The magnetospheric response to step-like solar wind dynamic pressure increases under southward IMF conditions is studied using the University of Michigan MHD code. A two phased response in the ionosphere is observed, similar to what is observed when the IMF is northward by looking into the re...
