Scientific paper

We report a study of global climatology in the ionospheric electric potentials obtained from combining two algorithms used for mapping of high- and middle/low latitude ionospheric electrodynamics: the LiMIE (http://www.sprl.umich.edu/mist/limie.html) and IMEH (http://geospace.nat.bg) models, respectively. In this combination, the latter model utilizes high-latitude field-aligned current distributions provided by LiMIE for various IMF conditions and different seasons (summer, winter, equinox). For the testing purposes, we developed a Web-based interface which provides global distributions of the ionospheric electric potential in near-real time utilizing solar wind observations made onboard the NASA's ACE spacecraft upstream at L1. We discuss the electric potential global modeling over both the northern and southern hemispheres and consider some implications for the solar cycle studies and space weather forecasting.
