Field-aligned currents in Saturn's northern nightside magnetosphere: Evidence for interhemispheric current flow associated with planetary period oscillations [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2015 We investigate the magnetic perturbations associated with field-aligned currents observed on 34 Cassini passes over the premidnight northern auroral region during 2008.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Since the discovery of the large‐scale field‐aligned currents it is widely acknowledged that gaps exist between the Region 1 (R1) and Region 2 (R2) currents in which the current values are relatively small as compared to neighboring regions.

Field‐aligned current response to solar indices [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2017 AbstractMagnetometer data from three satellite missions have been used to analyze and identify the effects of varying solar radiation on the magnitudes and locations of field‐aligned currents in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Data from the CHAMP, Ørsted, and Swarm satellite missions have been brought together to provide a database spanning a 15 year ...

Current carriers for the field-aligned current system [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 1985 The Dynamics Explorer satellites have returned a large body of data containing high resolution magnetometer measurements and distributions of charged particles of all but thermal electrons. From these data the relations of the field aligned currents to particle precipitation structures were investigated and the charge carriers were identified.

Relationships between field-aligned currents and convection observed by EISCAT and implications concerning the mechanism that produces region-2 currents: Statistical study [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1994 Fluid theories explain the origin of region-2 field-aligned currents as the closure of the ring current, driven itself by the azimuthal pressure gradients generated in the magnetospheric ring plasma by the sunward convection. Although the structure of

Empirical models of the Earth’s ionosphere field-aligned currents: a review [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 In this paper, we present a review of empirical models of the Earth’s ionosphere field-aligned currents (FAC). In total, seven FAC models were considered. Iijima and Potemra’s model was one of the earliest ones.

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 ...
