Statistical analysis of storm-time near-Earth current systems [PDF]
Currents from the Hot Electron and Ion Drift Integrator (HEIDI) inner magnetospheric model results for all of the 90 intense storms (disturbance storm-time (Dst) minimum < −100 nT) from solar cycle 23 (1996–2005) are calculated, presented, and ...

A note on the ring current in Saturn’s magnetosphere: Comparison of magnetic data obtained during the Pioneer-11 and Voyager-1 and -2 fly-bys [PDF]
We examine the residual (measured minus internal) magnetic field vectors observed in Saturn’s magnetosphere during the Pioneer-11 fly-by in 1979, and compare them with those observed during the Voyager-1 and -2 fly-bys in 1980 and 1981. We show for

Magnetospheric considerations for solar system ice state [PDF]
The current lattice configuration of the water ice on the surfaces of the inner satellites of Jupiter and Saturn is likely shaped by many factors. But laboratory experiments have found that energetic proton irradiation can cause a transition in the ...

Magnetospheric Current Systems and the Polar Cap Index
The transpolar convection of plasma and embedded magnetic fields generated by the solar wind interaction with the magnetosphere can be characterized by the polar cap (PC) indices, PCN (North) and PCS (South). These indices are derived from polar magnetic variations and calibrated with respect to the solar wind merging electric field (coupling function),

A statistical study of the global structure of the ring current [PDF]
[1] In this paper we derive the average configuration of the ring current as a function of the state of the magnetosphere as indicated by the Dst index.

Hall Fields and Current Systems of Magnetic Reconnection under Asymmetric Conditions
The Hall effect is a key component of collisionless reconnection. A previous study showed that a quadrupolar Hall pattern under symmetric conditions degenerates into a bipolar pattern under highly asymmetric conditions.

Two current systems in the preliminary phase of sudden commencements in the magnetosphere [PDF]
AbstractThe preliminary impulse of the sudden commencement is simply explained by the generation of the compressional wave due to sudden compression of the dayside magnetopause and mode conversion from the compressional wave to the Alfvén wave in the magnetosphere.

Are our ideas about Dst correct? [PDF]
The idea of two separate storm time ring currents, a symmetric and an asymmetric one has accepted since the 1960s. The existence of a symmetric equatorial ring current was concluded from Dst.
