Simulation of ionosphere-plasmasphere coupling taking into account ion inertia and temperature anisotropy

摘要: Abstract In this paper we offer a model for the Earth's ionosphere and plasmasphere, allowing inertia anisotropic energy distribution of thermal plasma. A procedure simultaneous solution equations continuity motion O + H ions, subject to terms, is described. The also includes transfer longitudinal transversal energies. system simulating kinetic equation superthermal electron spectra are concordantly solved along geomagnetic field lines. Within framework developed study made dynamics filling evacuated plasmaspheric reservoir after magnetospheric disturbance. It shown that tubes offorce with L ⩾ 3.5 proceeds supersonic speeds during first several days character differs very much from diffusion-equilibrium one. spatio-temporal behavior ion temperature anisotropy formed in process filling, considered. found value can be large. brief analysis causes anisotropy.
