In this work, we examined the changes in the radiation belt during geomagnetic storm events by studying the RBSP REPT, solar wind, AL, SML, and Dst data in conjunction with the WINDMI model of the magnetosphere. The field-aligned current output from the model is integrated to generate a proxy E index for various energy bands.

The SuperDARN vorticity data are first sub-divided depending on the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) direction, and the separation method is applied to PDFs of vorticity compiled in spatial regions of size 1° of geomagnetic latitude by 1 hr of magnetic local time, covering much of the high-latitude ionosphere in the northern hemisphere.

The spatial variations of the meso-scale vorticity estimators appear independent of the senses of vorticity and IMF direction, but have a different character in the polar cap, the cusp, the auroral region, and the sub-auroral region.
