First current density measurements in the ring current region using simultaneous multi-spacecraft CLUSTER-FGM data

The inner magnetosphere's current mapping is one of the key elements for current loop closure inside the entire magnetosphere. A method for directly computing the current is the multi-spacecraft curlometer technique, which is based on the application of Maxwell-Ampère's law. This requir...
