Scientific paper

Magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail or other forms of current sheet disruption are believed to produce bubbles, which consist of flux tubes that have entropy content PV5/3 lower than their surroundings. In this study, Geotail observations during a bubble-injection event are used to specify the tailward boundary conditions for the Rice Convection Model (RCM). Model results are compared to ground-based and in situ measurements such as Dst and geosynchronous particle fluxes. We present results from the injection of RCM-computed bubbles and their effects on the plasma bulk properties, electric field, ring current, and Birkeland currents in the inner magnetosphere. Some first results are also presented from a series of computer runs designed to examine sensitivity of model predictions to overall magnetospheric conditions, including standoff distance, convection rate, pre-existing ring current, and northward turning of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).
