JapaneseGEMSIS-Ionosphere
Outline
The ionosphere is a conducting region in the upper atmosphere. During magnetic storms, the ionosphere is in a high voltage state caused by an excess input of electromagnetic energy from the magnetosphere.
The newly developed electric field in the ionosphere is believed to be mapped to the inner region of the magnetosphere, acting as a major driver for the development of the ring current. Thus, the ionospheric electric field plays both passive and active roles in the Sun-Earth system. The primary goal of the GEMSIS-Ionosphere project is to understand the Sun-Earth system through examining the ionospheric electric field as well as energy flow by means of developing models and analyzing data.
