Precipitation and total power consumption in the ionosphere: Global MHD simulation results compared with Polar and SNOE observations

We compare the ionospheric electron precipitation morphology and power from a global MHD simulation (GUMICS-4) with direct measurements of auroral energy flux during a pair of substorms on 28-29 March 1998. The electron precipitation power is computed directly from global images of auror...
