| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To verify the role of the mid and low latitude ionosphere as an electromagnetic energy transmission path to the inner magnetosphere and magnetotail, we analyzed space weather disturbances such as the geomagnetic sudden commencements and substorms with HF Doppler sounder and magnetometer observations. We found that the electric field at low latitude is highly correlated with the magnetic disturbances caused by the equatorial electrojet. We suggest that the electromagnetic energy is transmitted from high latitude to the equator on the nightside as well as on the dayside, and drives electrojets in the nighttime equatorial ionosphere. We clarified quantitative relationship between the low latitude electric field and equatorial electrojet as a function of the solar zenith angle, which would help estimate the low latitude ionospheric electric field of the past major geomagnetic storms.
