Timescales of Birkeland Currents Driven by the IMF

Timescales of Birkeland Currents Driven by the IMF

Abstract We obtain current densities from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE), alongside By and Bz from the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) for March 2010. For each AMPERE spatial coordinate, we cross‐correlate current density with By and Bz, findi...
