Dissipation of field-aligned currents in the topside ionosphere
Field-aligned currents (FACs) are electric currents parallel to the geomagnetic field and connecting the Earth’s magnetosphere to the high-latitude ionosphere. Part of the energy injected into the ionosphere by FACs is converted into kinetic energy of the surrounding plasma. Such a current dissipati...
