Description:
The Sudden Impulse (SI) of solar wind dynamic pressure of 20 february 2000,
21:03 UT, is investigated by making use of data from WIND, GEOTAIL, POLAR and
GOES; ground magnetometer chains (Greenland, IMAGE, CANOPUS); SuperDARN HF
radars in both Northern and Southern hemispheres. The main effect of the SI described
herein is an enhancement of the ionospheric convection around midnight MLT. We suggest
that such an enhancement be due to an increase of the dawn–dusk electric field caused by
the SI compression of the magnetospheric tail.
