Two-Dimensional Structure of Flow Channels and Associated Upward Field-Aligned Currents: Model and Observations

Flow bursts are a major component of transport within the plasma sheet and auroral oval (where they are referred to as flow channels), and lead to a variety of geomagnetic disturbances as they approach the inner plasma sheet (equatorward portion of the auroral oval). However, their two-dimensional s...
