Field-aligned currents in the magnetosphere
Geofísica Internacional, 1991 Las corrientes alineadas con el campo en la magnetosfera fluyen en todas partes, no s6lo a altas 1"-titudes sino también a medianas y bajas. Sin embargo, su detecci6n con satcHites solo ha sido posible en la región por encima de las zonas aurorales.

COMPASS: A New COnductance Model Based on PFISR And SWARM Satellite Observations
Space Weather, 2022 Ionospheric conductance plays a crucial and active role in magnetosphere‐ionosphere‐thermosphere coupling processes. Despite its importance, direct global observations of conductance are unavailable.

Storm time field-aligned currents and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling process
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 Field aligned currents (FACs), also known as Birkland current, are flowing along the magnetic field line between the ionosphere and magnetosphere. They play an essential role in transferring mass, energy, and momentum from the magnetosphere to the ...

Determination of Auroral Electrodynamic Parameters From AMPERE Field‐Aligned Current Measurements
Space Weather, 2021 We calculate high latitude electrodynamic parameters using global maps of field‐aligned currents from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Response Experiment (AMPERE).

Kelvin-Helmholtz Vortices as an Interplay of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The solar wind-magnetosphere interaction drives diverse physical processes on the flanks of Earth’s magnetopause, and in turn these processes couple to the ionosphere.

Determination of vertical profiles of shell currents in the ionosphere [PDF]
Annales GeophysicaeIn previous works, we found Euler potentials for the combined magnetic field of Earth's dipole, field-aligned currents, ring current, and the magnetopause surface currents (represented by Dungey's term) in the magnetosphere.

Filamentary Alfvénic structures excited at the edges of equatorial plasma bubbles [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 Recent observations performed by the French DEMETER satellite at altitudes of about 710 km suggest that the generation of equatorial plasma bubbles correlates with the presence of filamentary structures of field aligned currents carried by Alfvén ...

On the role of neutral flow in field-aligned currents [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 In this brief note we explore the role of the neutral atmosphere in magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling. We analyze momentum balance in the ion rest frame to form hypotheses regarding the role of neutral momentum in the lower ionosphere during ...

Comparing magnetopause predictions from two MHD models during a geomagnetic storm and a quiet period
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Magnetopause location is an important prediction of numerical simulations of the magnetosphere, yet the models can err, either under-predicting or over-predicting the motion of the boundary.
