Figure 5

Mean of the residuals between parent model and input satellite data for each magnetic component. Top: X, middle: Y, and bottom: Z over northern polar cap (≥50° geomagnetic dipole latitude) over the entire input data set. The plot is ordered by Solar Magnetic longitude and latitude with the Sun in the direction of zero longitude and 90° latitude aligned with the north geomagnetic dipole pole. Patterns of sun-synchronous current systems are clearly visible.
