The neutral wind dynamo driven currents in the E-region of the ionosphere are one of many sources contributing to the Earth's overall magnetic field. Characterisation of the various sources is a vital step in understanding the Earth's whole magnetic environment from the core to the magnetosphere. Storm activity increases the kinetic energy in the neutral atmosphere and the enhanced motion decays gradually. This has a knock-on effect on the magnetic field at the ground at low to mid-latitudes. We have used the Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere model (CTIP) to assess the impact of the neutral particle inertia on the magnetic field. Our motivation is to quantify the magnitude of this effect such that it can be accounted for in geomagnetic field modelling. Our initial results using an artificial storm indicated a small (of the order of 10 nT) and long-lived (a few days) elevation in the magnetic field originating from this source. This has been extended to analyse the model output during a real storm event.
