Birkeland currents derived from EISCAT measurements: two case studies
Measurements of ion velocities by the Svalbard EISCAT Radar (ESR) has been used to calculate Birkeland current densities. Birkeland currents are field-aligned currents flowing along Earth’s magnetic field lines at high latitudes. These calcu- lated densities has been analyzed together with data from...

Measurements of ion velocities by the Svalbard EISCAT Radar (ESR) has been used to calculate Birkeland current densities. Birkeland currents are field-aligned currents flowing along Earth’s magnetic field lines at high latitudes. These calcu- lated densities has been analyzed together with data from the Advanced Compo- sition Explorer satellite (ACE) containing values of parameters in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). A connection between larger Birkeland current densities and changes in the IMF parameters By or Bz is revealed. |
