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...
