Scientific paper

Magnetosphere-ionosphere (M-I) coupling is a key element in solar-terrestrial physics and is of fundamental importance to space weather forecast. In the traditional research approach of M-I coupling processes, the ionosphere is treated as a passive medium. Even in the most recent coupled global magnetosphere-ionosphere models, the active role of the ionosphere has not been fully appreciated. Using a self-consistent M-I coupling model, it will be shown that the ionosphere can generate its own field-aligned currents and develop its own structured electric field and their impacts on the M-I coupling will be discussed. Also the approach of how to improve the M-I coupling component in the coupled global magnetosphere-ionosphere models will be suggested.
