Relationship between Large-, Meso-, and Small-Scale Field-Aligned Currents and their Current Carriers
Carriers of the dayside large-scale field-aligned currents (FACs) are discussed. Since the gyro-radius of the current carriers are smaller than the size of small-scale FACs (a pair of upward and downward FACs ...
