During storm time, the enhanced plasma densities at lower latitudes in the postnoon sector convect into the dayside cleft region at higher latitudes, and therefore a massive amount of ionospheric plasma is supplied to the cusp, where it can be transported into the magnetosphere. In this presentation, we use the UT Arlington Dynamic Fluid-Kinetic (DyFK) plasma transport model to simulate ionospheric plasma outflow that may occur during the passage of such a stormtime enhanced density plasma flux tube through the dayside auroral region, and the flux tube convects in the polar cap region. The simulation results are also compared with observations of a network of GPS receivers, DMSP satellites, incoherent scatter radars at Millstone Hill, Sondrestrom, and EISCAT Tromso.
