Intense Poynting flux at very high latitudes during magnetic storms: GITM simulation results Yue Deng 1 Cheng Sheng 1, Manqi Shi 1, Yanshi Huang 2, Cheryl H. Huang 3 1 University of Texas at Arlington 2 University of New Mexico 3 Air Force Research Lab CEDAR 2015

Motivation Huang et al  Large Poynting flux has been observed in the polar cap during the main phase of the August 5, 2011 storm, the magnitude of which is comparable to that in the auroral zone.  What are the mechanisms for observed large Poynting flux in the polar cap?

IMF & Solar Wind Conditions  IMF B z reached -20 nT; B y varied between -20 nT and 30 nT.  V x increased from 400 to 600 km/s; N increased from 3 to 20 n/cc.

GITM Simulations of Joule Heating  The main phase started from 19:06 UT on August 5th. Dst  -120 nT.  Both auroral zone and polar cap showed significant increase of Joule heating during active time

 Simulation captures the main feature of observation that large Joule heating occurs in the polar cap. But the magnitude is smaller in the simulation.  Particle observations show the particle precipitations are mainly in the auroral zone and there is no clear enhancement in the total electron flux in the polar cap. Observation vs. Simulation Northern Southern GITM Int-JHDMSP Electron FluxDMSP Poynting Flux

Contribution of Ion Convection: Quiet Time Active Time GITM kmGITM NeGITM Potential and Vi  In the polar cap, Joule 120 km increases by more than 100%. Joule heating peak in the polar cap is comparable with those in the auroral zone.  The ion convection increases significantly during active time in the polar cap. In the simulation, there is no clear increase in the electron density in the polar cap. The ion convection enhancement contributes most the polar cap Joule heating peak.

DMSP total Electron Flux Soft Electron Flux / Total Flux Northern Southern

Conclusion  GITM simulation shows a significant enhancement of Joule heating in the polar cap during the storm, the magnitude of which is comparable to that in the auroral zone. This feature is consistent with DMSP observations.  The ion convection variation is the major contributor to the polar cap Joule heating enhancement during the active time.  Soft particle precipitation enhancement in the polar cap is significant, which lifts up the altitude of effective Joule heating.
