The authors present a mathematical model of the magnetospheric electric field imposed upon the ionosphere. The model provides an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) dependent description of the magnetospheric electric field at ionospheric altitudes for global ionospheric and thermospheric modelers. Large-scale ionospheric and thermospheric modelers require a description of the magnetospheric electric field (convection field), since it is the main transport mechanism for plasma and a major momentum and heat source for the neutral thermosphere. However, a convection model must be both quantitative as well as computationally fast; that is, as an input function it should use a relatively small amount of computer time. These two criteria were used in the construction of the authors' convection model.
