Abstract

This paper presents a brief review of the Assimilative Mapping of Ionospheric Electrodynamics (AMIE) procedure and discusses potential uses of the procedure in support of cusp related studies. The algorithm estimates distributions of electric fields and other electrodynamic quantities over the polar regions by synthesis of diverse types of data. In the past the procedure has focussed primarily on investigating global magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere interactions via the study of temporal and spatial variations in ionospheric electric fields and conductance. Some recent efforts point to a useful role in investigating smaller scale features such as the cusp and cleft.
