Scientific paper

A diagnostic package for individual cooling and heating term analysis of the ionospheric electron energy equation has been developed to study Thermosphere-Ionosphere Nested Grid (TING) model electron temperature simulation results. This diagnostic package is applied here to investigate variations of electron temperatures with geomagnetic activity, and the ionospheric disturbances that are responsible for such variations. It is found that nighttime mid- to high-latitude electron temperatures are enhanced during storm time. This electron temperature enhancement is associated with electron heat fluxes from the plasmasphere that are assumed to be the same for both quiet and storm times, and the conduction of this heat into regions where there are depleted F-region electron densities. The decreased ionospheric electron densities (negative ionospheric effects) are caused by changes in neutral composition and wind circulation in storm time. Variations of electron temperature peaks in the early morning and evening, which are caused by geomagnetic storms, are also investigated.
