Short summary
This study utilizes data from the FAST spacecraft orbiting over the auroral regions to investigate the temporal progression of energy inputs resulting from a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and how that energy increases the outflow of ionospheric plasma. We found that the various forms of energy are all enhanced during the initial phase of a storm, and the energy inputs are strongly correlated with the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling functions, especially in the dayside cusp region.
