Particle Acceleration in the Magnetotail and Aurora (2012, background): “The “upward/downward” FA current topology is found at large scales, typical for the auroral oval (Anderson et al. 2008; Iijima and Potemra 1976; Kamide 1982; Ohtani et al. 2010; Weimer 2001) as illustrated in Fig.”
Statistical Birkeland current distributions from magnetic field observations by the Iridium constellation (2008, background): “Previous studies have determined global distributions of the large-scale Birkeland currents and their relationship to solar wind and IMF parameters by statistical analysis of single-satellite observations (Iijima and Potemra, 1978; Weimer, 2001, 2005; Papitashvili et al., 2002).”
A new model of field‐aligned currents derived from high‐precision satellite magnetic field data (2002, methodology): “…since the publication of the first statistical diagram of R1/R2 field-aligned currents derived from satellite data [Iijima and Potemra, 1976], no comprehensive studies of ionospheric FAC distributions were undertaken based on direct mesasurements in space until recently [e.g., Weimer, 2001].”
