What is controlling the response of the penetration electric field to the expansion of the convective electric field and the degree of shielding/overshielding. - dependence on temporal time-scale of forcing - pre-conditioning in the inner magnetosphere/ring current - magnetic field configuration - longitude dependence in ionospheric conductivity 2. When and where does the ring current produce SAPS and what is their relationship to SEDS and plumes. - dependence on MLT and latitude - many others 3. How does the magnetospheric convection pattern expand. - evolution from one state to another - erosion of plasmasphere or equatorward transport - refilling 4. Is there a "real" longitude dependence. - separating the difference between UT/long and a "real" longitude dependence - is there a preferred UT start time of storm?
