Decomposition of the reconstructed current density \(\underline{j}^{sh}\) into its poloidal and toroidal parts along the ellipsoid \({\mathcal {E}}\) on the nightside of Mercury. The poloidal current density is presented in multiples of \(\big |\underline{j}_{P0}^{sh}\big |=25\,{\rm nA}/{\rm m}^2\) and the toroidal current density is given in multiples of \(\big |\underline{j}_{T0}^{sh}\big |=15\,{\rm nA}/{\rm m}^2\)
