Electrodynamics of the auroral ionosphere during magnetospheric substorms
One of the principal consequences of magnetic reconnection at the dayside magentopause is the transfer of solar wind energy in the Earth's magnetotail. The expansion phase of a magnetospheric substorm corresponds to the sudden release of this energy and is characterised in the ionosphere by the...
