Association Between EMIC Wave Occurrence and Enhanced Convection Periods During Ion Injections
Abstrak
Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves tend to occur during geomagnetic storms and solar wind pressure pulses. However, they have also been regularly observed even in the absence of these two drivers. These non‐storm time and non‐pressure pulse EMIC events are very well associated with individual nightside injections (Remya et al., 2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JA025354). Nevertheless, not all substorm injections elicit wave activity. We examine the EMIC events excited during two substorm injections on 4 September 2015 and 1 October 2015. We find that injections that are associated with EMIC waves are also associated with enhanced ionospheric convection. The convective signatures occur at local times similar to those of the observed wave activity.
