Particle Precipitation Effects on Convection and the Magnetic Reconnection Rate in Earth's Magnetosphere

We investigate the connection between particle precipitation in the ionosphere to both the subsolar distance of the magnetopause and the reconnection rate using the OpenGGCM‐CTIM‐RCM model. We simulated two events, a calm period on 4 May 2005 and a storm period on 17 March 2013. We find that scaling...
