The simulation of the magnetosphere-ionosphere convection using the open magnetospheric model
Abstract. The simulation of the magnetosphere-ionosphere convection has been produced using the open magnetospheric model with the ellipsoidal form of the magnetopause for the homogeneous interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), penetrating into the Earth magnetosphere. The open magnetospheric model Tsyganenko 96 has been used. The modelling calculations have been compared with the ionospheric ion drift data. The calculations correctly reproduce a "throat" in the convection pattern in the dayside ionosphere, the convection direction depending from the sign of the IMF component By in the polar cap and convection near midnight. However, the modelling calculations predict the location of the convective focuses in more late hours for By<0 then the experimental data and in more early hours for By>0. The conclusion has been made that it is impossible to explain these features of the convection by the magnetospheric model Tsyganenko 96.
