Abstract:

Prompt penetration electric fields (PPEFs) and the consequential dayside ionospheric superfountain (DIS) are reviewed. An example of O+ uplift to ~840 km altitude at ~0940 local time (DMSP F15) during the superstorm of 30 October 2003 is illustrated. The SAMI-2 model is modified to incorporate intense superstorm electric fields. With an inclusion of a ~4 mV/m eastward electric field, SAMI-2* modeling results show many of the expected DIS effects.
