Field-aligned currents calculated based on the upgraded Prairie View Magnetosphere- ionosphere Coupling Model
Abstract
Using the experimental magnetic field and the newly defined Eular Potentials, we upgraded Prairie View Magnetosphere-ionosphere Coupling Model that was originally created in the frame of IGRF. The electric fields in the ionosphere and the field-aligned currents in the magnetosphere are calculated with the upgraded magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling model, and a preliminary comparison of the calculations with the measurements from ST5 will be presented.
