Multiscale hybrid modeling of the impact response of the Earth’s magnetotail to ionospheric O+ outflow

Ionospheric outflow plays an important role in coupling the ionosphere with the solar wind-magnetosphere system. Previous multi-fluid MHD studies explored the global influence of oxygen ions of ionospheric origin (O+) on magnetospheric dynamics. A detailed exploration of the interaction of ionospher...
