Asymmetric auroral intensities in the Earth's Northern and Southern hemispheres

KM Laundal, N Østgaard - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
It is commonly assumed that the aurora borealis (Northern Hemisphere) and aurora australis
(Southern Hemisphere) are mirror images of each other because the charged particles …

Principal component analysis of Birkeland currents determined by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment

Asymmetric distributions of auroral kilometric radiation in Earth's northern and southern hemispheres observed by the Arase satellite

F Xiao, J Tang, S Zhang, Q Zhou, S Liu… - Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) is generated at high latitudes and can propagate down to
low latitudes. Due to the lack of direct observations, the characteristics of AKR in the middle …

Interhemispheric differences in ionospheric convection: Cluster EDI observations revisited

M Förster, S Haaland - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The interaction between the interplanetary magnetic field and the geomagnetic field sets up
a large‐scale circulation in the magnetosphere. This circulation is also reflected in the …
