Chinese Journal of Space Science, 2010, 30(4): 321-332 Electrodynamic Coupling in the Solar Wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere System∗ Hu Youqiu1 Wang Chi2 1(Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Basic Plasma Physics, School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, 230026, China) 2(State Key Laboratory of Space Weather, Center for Space Science and Applied Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China) Abstract This paper presents a brief summary of our recent work based on global MHD simulations of the Solar wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere (SMI) system with emphasis on the electrodynamic coupling in the system. The main conclusions obtained are summarized as follows. (1) As a main dynamo of the SMI system, the bow shock contributes to both region 1 Field-Aligned Current (FAC) and cross-tail current. Under strong interplanetary driving conditions and moderate Alfv´en Mach numbers, the bow shock’s contribution may exceed more than fifty percent of the total of either region 1 or cross-tail currents. (2) In terms of more than 100 simulation runs with due southward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF), we have found a combined parameter f = Esw Psw M −1/2 (Esw , Psw , and MA are the solar wind electric field, A ram pressure, and Alfv´en Mach number, respectively): both the ionospheric transpolar potential and the magnetopause reconnection voltage vary linearly with f for small f , but saturate for large f . (3) The reconnection voltage is approximately fitted by sin3/2 (θIMF /2), where θIMF is the IMF clock angle. The ionospheric transpolar potential, the voltage along the polar cap boundary, and the electric fields along the mer
