More Conclusions

• Optimal Place for this discharge

  • Low magnetospheric electron density - Plasmasphere trough
  • Low ionospheric conductivity- trough at night
    • Equinoxes! (Check out the Russel-McPherron effect)
  • High plasmasheet ion density - pre-midnight

• Optimal Time for this discharge

  • High convection Electric field - storm injection
  • High plasmasheet density - “primed” superdense PS
  • After plasmasphere is removed (double-dip?)
