We review the morphology and dynamics of the electrical current systems of the terrestrial
magnetosphere and ionosphere. Observations from the Active Magnetosphere and …

We review research into the Birkeland currents (also known as field‐aligned currents) that
has been conducted using the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics …

Abstract The Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment
uses magnetic field data from the Iridium constellation to derive the global Birkeland current …

We reduce measurements made by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary
Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE) to give the total Birkeland (field‐aligned) …

We quantify the contributions of different convection states to the magnetic flux throughput of
the magnetosphere during 2010. To do this we provide a continuous classification of …

Electric currents flowing through near-Earth space (R≤ 12 RE) can support a highly
distorted magnetic field topology, changing particle drift paths and therefore having a …

The Swarm satellites offer an unprecedented opportunity for improving our knowledge about
polar cap patches, which are regarded as the main space weather issue in the polar caps …

In this paper we present the first large‐scale statistical study of the influence of magnetic
reconnection on the magnitude of the regions 1 and 2 Birkeland field‐aligned currents …

The effect of storms driven by solar wind high‐speed streams (HSSs) on the high‐latitude
ionosphere is inadequately understood. We study the ionospheric F‐region during a …

We present a comprehensive two‐dimensional view of the field‐aligned currents (FACs)
during the late growth and expansion phases for three isolated substorms utilizing in situ …
