Modeling the Geomagnetic Response to the September 2017 Space Weather Event Over Fennoscandia Using the Space Weather Modeling Framework: Studying the Impacts of Spatial Resolution by A. P. Dimmock, D. T. Welling, L. Rosenqvist, C. Forsyth, M. P. Freeman, I. J. Rae, A. Viljanen, E. Vandegriff, R. J. Boynton, M. A. Balikhin, E. Yordanova

“…The virtual magnetometer data from the SWMF are coupled with a local ground conductivity model which is used to calculate the geoelectric field and estimate GICs in a Finnish natural gas pipeline. This investigation has lead to several important results in which higher resolution yielded: (1) more realistic amplitudes and timings of GICs, (2) higher amplitude geomagnetic disturbances across latitudes, and (3) increased regional variations in terms of differences between stations. …”
