Abstract
Abstract
Electric field impulses generated by interplanetary shocks can cause a series of dynamic processes in the Earth’s magnetosphere and were previously explained by either fast-mode wave propagation or flow related to compression of the magnetopause. Based on a Space Weather Modeling Framework simulation, we suggest a new scenario in which the evolution of the impulse is due to both the propagation of the fast-mode wave and the compression of the magnetopause, which can explain the simulation and observations in previous related studies. The onset of the electric field impulse is determined by the propagation of the fast-mode wave in the magnetosphere while the peak of the impulse is determined by the propagation of the compression of the magnetopause. The new understanding of the impulse is important for the generation of subsequent ultralow frequency waves through the coupling of the fast-mode to Alfvén waves and field line resonances and related radiation-belt electron acceleration.
