Characteristics of field-aligned currents deduced from preliminary data analysis of MAGSAT observations
Preliminary analyses of the MAGSAT magnetic field data have been carried out. In high latitudes the signatures of field-aligned currents are clearly recognized to have the following characteristics : (1) the persistent basic pattern of current flow (so-called Regions 1 and 2), with the dominate in i...
