Comparison of simulated and observed large-scale, field-aligned current structures
Recently, a model of large-scale, field-aligned current (FAC) structures, based on zero-frequency MHD surface wave (SW) modes that can emerge from the solar wind-Earth's magnetosphere interaction, has been proposed. The FAC polarity and intensity distribution are quantified as a function of...
