 Abstract: Small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs), a bundle of twisted field lines, have been discovered in the solar wind at 1AU. It is widely known that rotating magnetic field structure is favorable for build-up, release, and transport of free energy. However, their interaction with the Earth’s magnetosphere has not yet been extensively studied even though it may play an important role in energy transfer from the solar wind to the geospace environment. We report on the effect of SMFRs on the Solar Wind – Magnetosphere – Ionosphere coupling process. SMFR events used in this study are identified by Grad-Shafranov (GS) reconstruction algorithm which has been used in a number of SMFR studies. Our pilot study found 454 SMFRs from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission near the Earth’s magnetospheric boundary from 11/15/2017 to 03/13/2018. During this period, we perform a statistical analysis of SMFRs from both MMS and Wind spacecraft to compare their occurrence and characteristics, and to determine SMFR-related solar wind conditions. We also use several magnetospheric missions (e.g., RBSP, THEMIS, GOES, etc) and ground-based instruments (e.g., magnetometers, all sky imagers, etc) to understand a global picture of geospace responses to SMFRs. Here we present simultaneous in-situ and ground observations in association with SMFR events.
