Swarm field-aligned currents during a severe magnetic storm of September 2017 [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2020 Swarm satellite observations are used to characterize the extreme behavior of large- and small-scale field-aligned currents (FACs) during the severe magnetic storm of September 2017.

Dayside Field‐Aligned Current Impacts on Ionospheric Irregularities
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractGlobal Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are subject to disturbances caused by plasma irregularities in the ionosphere. Studies have suggested that in addition to the gradient drift and Kelvin‐Helmholtz instabilities, electron precipitation may be important for phase scintillations in the dayside auroral region.

High‐Latitude Electrodynamics Specified in SAMI3 Using AMPERE Field‐Aligned Currents
Space Weather, 2022 A new technique has been developed to determine the high‐latitude electric potential from observed field‐aligned currents (FACs) and modeled ionospheric conductances.

Solar Force-free Magnetic Fields [PDF]
, 2012 The structure and dynamics of the solar corona is dominated by the magnetic field. In most areas in the corona magnetic forces are so dominant that all non-magnetic forces like plasma pressure gradient and gravity can be neglected in the lowest order ...

Cusp field‐aligned currents and ion outflows [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2000 On September 24 and 25, 1998, the Polar spacecraft observed intense outflows of terrestrial ions in association with the passage of an interplanetary shock and coronal mass ejection. The orbit of the Fast Auroral Snapshot (FAST) Explorer was in the noon‐midnight meridian during this ion outflow event, and FAST passed through the day side cusp region at

Auroral streamers: characteristics of associated precipitation,convection and field-aligned currents [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2004 During the long-duration steady convection activity on 11 December 1998, the development of a few dozen auroral streamers was monitored by Polar UVI instrument in the dark northern nightside ionosphere.

Influences of various space current systems on the geomagnetic field in near-Earth space
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 Ground and space-based observations of the geomagnetic field are usually a superposition of different sources from the Earth’s core, lithosphere, ocean, ionosphere, and magnetosphere, and also from field-aligned currents coupling the ionosphere and ...

Thinning of field‐aligned currents
Geophysical Research Letters, 1982 It is common to describe the field‐aligned currents associated with auroral arcs in terms of an Alfven wave propagating earthward. Taking account of convection, the wave can be stationary relative to the earth with its normal nearly perpendicular to the field. Far enough ahead of the wave linear theory is valid and here theory is restricted to both the
