AB: The Michigan Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) has been developed to facilitate coupling models from various domains. The SWMF is used here to couple models of the global magnetosphere (BATSRUS), ionosphere, thermosphere (GITM), and inner magnetosphere (RCM) for the focus storm period of April 2001. We will show the effects of coupling the models, and compare with available observations. We will highlight the global three dimensional nature of processes during the event, including the evolution of the ring current and global current patterns.
