• Birkeland current effects on high-latitude ground magnetic field perturbations 

      Laundal, Karl Magnus; Haaland, Stein; Lehtinen, Nikolai; Gjerløv, Jesper; Østgaard, Nikolai; Tenfjord, Paul; Reistad, Jone Peter; Snekvik, Kristian; Milan, Steve; Ohtani, Shin-ichi; Anderson, Brian J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-18)
      Magnetic perturbations on ground at high latitudes are directly associated only with the divergence-free component of the height-integrated horizontal ionospheric current, J⊥,df. Here we show how J⊥,df can be expressed as ...
    • Dual-Lobe Reconnection and Horse-Collar Auroras 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Carter, Jennifer Alyson; Bower, G.E.; Imber, S.M.; Paxton, Larry J.; Anderson, Brian J.; Hairston, Marc; Hubert, Benoit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We propose a mechanism for the formation of the horse-collar auroral configuration during periods of strongly northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), invoking the action of dual-lobe reconnection (DLR). Auroral ...
    • Magnetospheric Flux Throughput in the Dungey Cycle: Identification of Convection State During 2010 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Carter, Jennifer Alyson; Sangha, Harneet; Bower, G.E.; Anderson, Brian J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      We quantify the contributions of different convection states to the magnetic flux throughput of the magnetosphere during 2010. To do this we provide a continuous classification of convection state for the duration of 2010 ...
    • Overview of solar wind - magnetosphere - ionosphere - atmosphere coupling and the generation of magnetospheric currents 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Clausen, Lasse Boy Novock; Coxon, John Charles; Carter, Jenny A.; Walach, Maria Theresia; Laundal, Karl Magnus; Østgaard, Nikolai; Tenfjord, Paul Arne Riksheim; Reistad, Jone Peter; Snekvik, Kristian; Korth, Haje; Anderson, Brian J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)
      We review the morphology and dynamics of the electrical current systems of the terrestrial magnetosphere and ionosphere. Observations from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE) ...
    • Substorm Onset Latitude and the Steadiness of Magnetospheric Convection 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Walach, Maria Theresia; Carter, JA; Sangha, Harneet; Anderson, Brian J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-10)
      We study the role of substorms and steady magnetospheric convection (SMC) in magnetic flux transport in the magnetosphere, using observations of field‐aligned currents by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics ...
