Input parameters used for the AIKEF model.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| IMF direction (upstream) | (−0.79, 0.59, 0.06) |
| IMF magnitude (upstream) | 24.2 nT |
| Solar wind (H+) number density | 40 particles cm−3 |
| Solar wind (upstream) bulk velocity | 400 km s−1 |
| Solar wind ion temperature | 17 eV |
| Solar wind ram pressure (Pram = 2Pdyn) | 10.6 nPa |
| Alfvén Mach number MA | 4.8 |
| Planetary magnetic field (multipole) | −190, −75, −22nT |
Notes. The solar wind parameters are adapted from Winslow et al. (2013). The planetary magnetic field is considered up to the octupole moment (Anderson et al. 2012).
