Seasonal and interplanetary magnetic field dependence of the field-aligned currents for both Northern and Southern Hemispheres

The configuration of the Earth's magnetosphere under various Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) and solar wind conditions alters the global distribution of Field-Aligned Currents (FACs) at the high latitude ionospheres. We use magnetic field data obtained from the Iridium constellation to e...
