Development of large‐scale Birkeland currents determined from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (2014, methodology): “AMPERE provides global, continuous sampling of the magnetic field perturbations at low Earth orbit from the Iridium Communications constellation of 70 near-polar orbiting satellites [Anderson et al., 2000, 2002; Waters et al., 2001].”
A new model of field‐aligned currents derived from high‐precision satellite magnetic field data (2002, methodology): “[12] Another interesting approach of special relevance to real-time monitoring of global FAC distributions is the use of engineering magnetometer data on the 66 Iridium satellites [Waters et al., 2001].”
Birkeland current system key parameters derived from Iridium observations: Method and initial validation results (2002, methodology): “The magnetic perturbation map agreed with the DMSP data to within the latitude resolution ( 2 ) and uncertainty ( 100 nT) in the Iridium data, and the upward FACs corresponded to regions of discrete auroral emissions [Waters et al., 2001].”
Altitude‐adjusted corrected geomagnetic coordinates: Definition and functional approximations (2014, background): “…1993; Rostoker et al., 1995; Lühr et al., 1998]; and satellite measurements of particles and electric currents to determine magnetospheric boundaries and large-scale structures [Newell et al., 1991a, 1991b; Sotirelis et al., 1998; Watanabe et al., 1998; Waters et al., 2001; Korth et al., 2010].”
Improved Ionospheric Electrodynamic Models and Application to Calculating Joule Heating Rates (2005, methodology): “Only lately have more detailed FAC maps and models been produced [ Waters et al., 2001; Papitashvili et al., 2001, 2002; Stauning, 2002].”
Statistical Birkeland current distributions from magnetic field observations by the Iridium constellation (2008, methodology): “The derivation of magnetic perturbations from the raw data and evaluation of the Birkeland currents from the perturbations are described byAnderson et al. (2000) and Waters et al.(2001), respectively.”
