How Does the Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Current System Respond to Solar Flares?
2026
Overview
While the isolated effects of solar flares on low‐latitude ionospheric electrodynamics have been well documented, the coupled system response of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ), auroral electrojet (AEJ), field‐aligned currents (FACs), and asymmetric ring current (ASY‐H) remains poorly understood. This study statistically analyzes 1,657 X/M‐class flares (2001–2017) to quantify rapid electrodynamic changes across current systems. Our results indicate (a) flare intensity‐dependent enhancements in eastward EEJ, suppressed equatorial ionospheric vertical drift (Vz), and increased ASY‐H; (b) negligible flare influence on AEJ; and (c) R2 FACs intensification in the dusk sector, linking ionospheric dynamics to asymmetric ring current perturbations. These observations reveal transient electrodynamic coupling within the geospace associated with flares, independent of solar wind forcing, advancing understanding of flare‐driven ionosphere‐magnetosphere interactions.
