Abstract
A theoretical model for the dynamic responses to geomagnetic storms in the thermosphere is derived from magnetohydrodynamic theory. The validity claim for this model is based on the assumption that the thermosphere behaves like an electrically conductive fluid. In order to test the proposed model, a numerical example is presented. Recommendations for improving the model are also offered.
