Comparison of large-scale Birkeland currents determined from Iridium and SuperDARN data

The Birkeland currents, <i>J</i><sub>||</sub>, electrically couple the high latitude ionosphere with the near Earth space environment. Approximating the spatial distribution of the Birkeland currents may be achieved using the divergence of the ionospheric electric field, &...
