DOI: 10.1029/2025sw004573
Abstract: Field‐aligned currents (FACs) are the main physical mechanism behind magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling, with these currents communicating environmental changes between the two regions of geospace. Field‐aligned currents are thus a key factor in monitoring space weather, both… read more here.
