Storm time field-aligned currents and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling process

Field aligned currents (FACs), also known as Birkland current, are flowing along the magnetic field line between the ionosphere and magnetosphere. They play an essential role in transferring mass, energy, and momentum from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere at high latitudes. FACs arouse much inter...
