Distribution of Region 1 and 2 currents in the quiet and substorm time plasma sheet from THEMIS observations
Abstract Although Earth's Region 1 and 2 currents are related to activities such as substorm initiation, their magnetospheric origin remains unclear. Utilizing the triangular configuration of THEMIS probes at 8–12 RE downtail, we seek the origin of nightside Region 1 and 2 currents. Our statist...
