Scientific paper

We will give an overview over different examples of ring current configurations during extreme values of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By and Bz. The 15 July 2000 storm displayed IMF Bz down to -60 nT and a subsequent formation of a ring current close to the Earth. The 12 August 2000 displayed IMF By=30 nT and Bz=-30 nT with an entry point of the flow during the mainphase highly skewed towards dawn which may be an effect of plasma entry along the dawnside flanks of the magnetopause due to the highly positive IMF By. We will present the ion distributions inverted from the ENA image sequences through a method by R. Demajistre et al. at this conference and give lower limits on the current density.
