- Abstract
Abstract: The Arase satellite observed clear dipolarization signatures at r~4.3–4.6 RE, GMLAT~16°–18°, and MLT~5.5–5.7 hr around 15:00 UT on 27 March 2017 when Dst~−70 nT. Strong magnetic field fluctuations were embedded and their characteristic frequency was close to the local gyrofrequency of O+ ions. After the dipolarization, O+ flux was enhanced at ≤15 keV, while H+ flux showed no clear variations. These observations provide evidence for the direct supply of O+ ions from the ionosphere. There were no clear signatures for the nonadiabatic local acceleration of O+ ions. We consider that a bump‐on‐tail structure in the energy spectrum around 30–50 keV due to a combination of charge exchange loss and drift motion of ions masks the nonadiabatic acceleration. Occurrence of the magnetic field dipolarization at dawn, which is far from the well‐known premidnight occurrence peak, may be due to an eastward skewing of partial ring current during the storm main phase.
