Dataset associated with manuscript "Magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling via prescribed field-aligned current simulated by the TIEGCM"

The dataset is associated with the manuscript "Magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling via prescribed field-aligned current simulated by the TIEGCM". It is based on simulations using the NCAR Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIEGCM) and comparing the thermosphere-ionosphere response during 28-30 May, 2010 geomagnetic storm due to different realizations of magnetosphere-ionosphere (MI) coupling in the model. Results are presented using for MI coupling the Assimilative Mapping of Ionospheric Electrodynamics (AMIE), the empirical Weimer ion convection, and fitted field-aligned current based on observations from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE). The output includes among others high latitude quantities of auroral ionization rates, field-aligned current, electric potential, hemispheric integrated Joule heating, and middle and low-latitude zonal mean neutral wind, density, composition, ionospheric Nmf2, TEC and equatorial vertical drift.
