Short summary

Oxygen ions are an important element in the mass and energy transport in the magnetospheric dynamic process during intense substorms (AE > 500 nT). We did this work to better understand the O⁺ at the dusk flank magnetopause varying with solar wind conditions and AE index during intense substorms. The results show the O⁺ abundance at the duskside magnetopause has a corresponding relation to that in the duskside near-Earth plasma sheet.
