摘要

Recent advances in reconstructing Earth's magnetic field and associated currents by utilizing data mining of in situ magnetometer observations in the magnetosphere based on geomagnetic indices and solar wind parameters have proven remarkably accurate at reproducing observed ion diffusion regions. We investigate the effect of placing regions of localized resistivity in global simulations of the magnetosphere at specific locations inspired by the data mining results for the substorm occurring on 6 July 2017. When explicit resistivity is included, the simulation forms an x-line at the same time and location as the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission observation of an ion diffusion region at 15:35 UT on that day. Without this explicit resistivity, reconnection forms later in the substorm and far too close to Earth (?-15R(E)), a common problem with global simulations of Earth's magnetosphere. A consequence of reconnection taking place farther down the tail due to localized resistivity is that the reconnection outflows transport magnetic flux Earthward and thus prevent the current sheet from thinning enough for reconnection to take place nearer Earth. As these flows rebound tailward from the inner magnetosphere, they can temporarily and locally (in the dawn-dusk direction) stretch the magnetic field allowing for small scale x-lines to form in the near Earth region. Due to the narrow cross-tail extent of these x-lines (?5R(E)) and their short lifespan (?5 min), they would be difficult to observe with in situ measurements. Future work will explore time-dependent resistivity using 5 min cadence data mining reconstructions.
