Birkeland current effects on high-latitude groundmagnetic field perturbations
K. M. Laundal, S. E. Haaland, N. Lehtinen +8
Magnetic perturbations on ground at high latitudes are directly associated only with the divergence-free component of the height-integrated horizontal ionospheric current, $\textbf…

How the IMF induces a component in the closed magnetosphere and how it leads to asymmetric currents and convection patterns in the two hemispheres
P. Tenfjord, N. Østgaard, K. Snekvik +4
We used the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry global magnetohydrodynamics model to study the effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) IMF component on the coupling bet…

What controls the local time extent of flux transfer events?
S. E. Milan, S. M. Imber, J. A. Carter +2
Flux transfer events (FTEs) are the manifestation of bursty and/or patchy magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause. We compare two sequences of the ionospheric signatures of flux…
