Filamentary field-aligned currents at the polar cap region during northward interplanetary magnetic field derived with the Swarm constellation
ESA's Swarm constellation mission makes it possible for the first time to determine field-aligned currents (FACs) in the ionosphere uniquely. In particular at high latitudes, the dual-satellite approach can reliably detect some FAC structures which are missed by the traditional single-satel...
