Quantifying the ability of magnetohydrodynamic models to reproduce observed Birkeland current and auroral electrojet magnitudes

Although global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models have increased in sophistication and are now at the forefront of modeling Space Weather, there is still no clear understanding of how well these models replicate the observed ionospheric current systems. Without a full understanding and treatment of t...
