Abstract

This study uses 8 years of DMSP data to examine how the polarity of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By influences the strength and latitude of subauroral polarization streams (SAPS), alongside field-aligned currents (FACs). Significant local time, seasonal, and hemispheric differences are observed. At dusk, R1 (Region 1) FACs are found poleward and R2 (Region 2) FACs equatorward of peak SAPS; at dawn, SAPS are positioned equatorward of upward R2 FACs. In the Northern Hemisphere (NH), SAPS are stronger under IMF By > 0 at dusk, while in the Southern Hemisphere (SH), SAPS are stronger under IMF By < 0. Dawnside SAPS tends to be stronger under IMF By < 0. Duskside R1 FACs are stronger under IMF By < 0, with seasonal variations in R2 FACs, whereas dawnside R2 FACs prefer IMF By > 0. SAPS latitudes vary seasonally with IMF By polarity, showing more poleward SH SAPS under IMF By > 0. Ionospheric upflows exhibit similar IMF By polarity dependence as SAPS at dusk, but this influence diminishes at dawn. Model simulations underscore how IMF By affects SAPS dynamics through FACs and conductivity gradients, highlighting larger NH (SH) SAPS under positive IMF By at dusk (dawn) compared to its SH (NH) counterpart.

行星际磁场对黎明和黄昏时分亚极光偏振流的影响
本研究使用8年的DMSP数据来研究行星际磁场(IMF)的极性如何影响亚极光极化流(SAPS)的强度和纬度,以及场向电流(FACs)。观察到明显的当地时间、季节和半球差异。黄昏时,R1(区域1)和R2(区域2)分别在SAPS峰的极地和赤道方向存在;黎明时,SAPS位于R2上方FACs的赤道方向。在北半球(NH), SAPS在IMF下更强。而在南半球(SH),在IMF的影响下,SAPS更强。0. 黎明边的SAPS在IMF的支持下往往更强。0. 国际货币基金组织(IMF)支持下,美国金融市场更加强劲。0,与R2 FACs的季节变化有关,而黎明R2 FACs更倾向于IMF By >;0. SAPS纬度随IMF By极性呈季节性变化,在IMF By >下,SH SAPS更偏向极地;0. 电离层上升流在黄昏表现出与SAPS相似的IMF By极性依赖,但这种影响在黎明减弱。模型模拟强调了IMF By如何通过FACs和电导率梯度影响SAPS动态,突出了黄昏(黎明)与SH (NH)相比,在正IMF By下的NH (SH) SAPS更大。
