Abstract

We present a method for studying dynamic correlations in the magnetosphere–ionosphere system. This method solves the Generalized Langevin equation using a memory kernel derived from the experimental autocorrelation function of the random fluctuating force that drives electric currents near Earth’s geomagnetic equator. Our results show that the correlations exhibit a double power-law decay that depends on Earth’s geomagnetic activity level. This approach accurately describes statistical observables close to the geomagnetic equator, such as the mean squared fluctuation of the magnetosphere, without relying on specific interparticle interactions. The long-term memory effect identified in our study could have significant implications for monitoring Earth’s space weather.
