摘要

Satellite observations often show that relativistic electron fluxes that decrease during ageomagnetic storm main phase do not recover their prestorm level even when thestorm has substantially recovered. A possible explanation for such sustained flux dropoutis that the electrons that move to larger shells (L shells) aided by the disturbance stormtime (Dst) effect associated with the main phase geomagnetic field depression may besuffering drift loss to the magnetopause, resulting in irreversible (nonadiabatic) fluxdecreases during a geomagnetic storm. In this study, we have numerically evaluated thedrift loss effect by combining it with the Dst effect and including off-equatoriallymirroring electrons for three different storm conditions obtained by averaging 95geomagnetic storms that occurred from 1997 to 2002. Using the Tsyganenko T02 modeland our own simplified method, we estimated the storm time flux changes based on theguiding center orbit dynamics. Assuming that there is no competing source mechanismtaking place at the same time, our calculations of the electron fluxes at equatorial midnightsuggest that the drift loss when combined with the Dst effect can be responsible forflux dropouts, which can be seen even inside the geosynchronous orbit during stormperiods. Specifically, by evaluating omnidirectional flux values at three specific times thatcorrespond to the storm onset time, the time of minimum Dst value, and the end of theDst recovery, we have obtained the following numerical results. First, for the strong stormwith –150 nT < Dst_(min)≤ –100 nT, the combined drift loss and Dst effect can cause acomplete dropout of the electron flux for r ≤ ~5 RE at the end of the storm recovery. A nearlyfull recovery of the particle flux by the adiabatic Dst effect is seen only for r < ~5 R_E.For themoderate storm with –100 nT < Dst_(min)≤ –50 nT, the overall flux decrease level at theend of the storm recovery is less significant compared to that of the strong storm. However,the combined loss effect can still penetrate into r 5 RE, leading to some partial dropout ofthe flux. For the severe storm with Dst_(min) ≤ –150 nT, the flux dropout is far moresignificant than for the other two storms, indicating that the combined drift loss and Dsteffect can even reduce the flux level at an inner region of r ~ 4 R_E.But in this case, the solarwind dynamic pressure is so high that the dayside magnetopause can cross thegeosynchronous orbit. Consequently, the flux dropouts seen in actual observations can beprimarily attributed to a fast and direct loss to the magnetopause at times when themagnetopause crosses the geosynchronous orbit. It is possible that our numerical resultsmay quantitatively change to some extent with different magnetospheric models andassumptions and may also change depending on the validity of the fully adiabatic invariantsassumption.
