Interplanetary disturbances play an important role in influencing the ionospheric outflow. The ionospheric mass source in the magnetosphere is found to be quite significant during strong magnetic activity levels. Using the recently developed multi-fluid MHD code and the Polar Wind Outflow Model from the University of Michigan, the mechanism of extracting and accelerating of the ionospheric-origin plasma is investigated after solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field disturbances encounter the magnetopause. The ionospheric heavy ion fluid (O+) is tracked after it enters the magnetosphere system, and its impact on the ring current dynamics and dayside reconnection rate will be presented when a mass-dependent anomalous resistivity is applied in the reconnection region of the MHD model.
