Comparison of the observed dependence of large-scale Birkeland currents on solar wind parameters with that obtained from global simulations
Spatial distributions of the large-scale Birkeland currents derived from magnetic field data acquired by the constellation of Iridium Communications satellites have been compared with global-magnetosphere magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The Iridium data, spanning the interval from Februar...
