Fig. 4From: Relationship between large-scale ionospheric field-aligned currents and electron/ion precipitations: DMSP observationsa. The MLAT versus MLT distribution of FACs derived from the DMSP satellites for the northern hemisphere. The subpanels are arranged by the intensity of IMF By and Bz components: from left to right, the By component varies from 10 to – 10 nT, and from top to bottom, the Bz varies from 10 to – 10 nT, both with a step of 5 nT. b As the same as Fig. 4a, but for the FACs distribution in the southern hemisphereBack to article page
