A Third Generation Field‐Aligned Current Model [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2020 AbstractA new empirical model of field‐aligned currents in the Earth's ionosphere has been developed. This model is derived using magnetometer data from the CHAallenging Minisatellite Payload, Ø rsted, and Swarm satellite missions, which has created a database that spans more than 15 years.

Field-aligned and ionospheric currents [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 1975 Abstract Zmuda and Armstrong (1974) showed that the field-aligned currents consist of two pairs; one is located in the morning sector and the other in the evening sector. Our analysis of magnetic records from the TRIAD satellite suggests that in each pair the poleward field-aligned current is more intense than the equatorward current, a typical ratio

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

Multipoint Field‐Aligned Current Estimates With Swarm [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2019 AbstractField‐aligned currents (FACs) are a key component of the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system, providing the transfer of energy and momentum between the distant collision‐free magnetospheric plasma and the collisional ionosphere. The European Space Agency's Swarm mission offers a unique opportunity to explore the FACs low‐altitude end by a broad ...

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.

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.
