Overview of Solar Wind–Magnetosphere–Ionosphere–Atmosphere Coupling and the Generation of Magnetospheric Currents (2017, background): “The polarity of the R0 current depends on the BY component of the IMF, being upwards (downwards) in the northern hemisphere for BY > 0 (BY < 0) and opposite in the southern hemisphere (Wilhjelm et al. 1978; Iijima et al. 1978; Erlandson et al. 1988; Papitashvili et al. 2002; Milan et al. 2015).”
Development of large‐scale Birkeland currents determined from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (2014, methodology): “This basic pattern has been derived statistically from several data sets [Papitashvili et al., 2002; Weimer, 2005; Anderson et al., 2008; He et al., 2012].”
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).”
Improved Ionospheric Electrodynamic Models and Application to Calculating Joule Heating Rates (2005, methodology): “The FAC map in Figure 4e may be compared with the zero IMF cases shown by Papitashvili et al. [2001, 2002] .”
