From: An electric circuit model of the Earth’s polar electrojets and field-aligned currents for the estimation of magnetospheric magnetic field from along-track Swarm magnetic data

Fig. 14

The same as Fig. 4, but for the Swarm residuals \(\Delta X_{\mathrm{sm}}^{(2)}\) (thin black), \(\Delta Y_{\mathrm{sm}}^{(2)}\) (thin green) and \(\Delta Z^{(2)}\) (thin orange) that are corrected for the magnetic fields of PEJs and FACs and grouped in discrete time bins of 1-h duration before the adjustment by the two-circular loop model of MRCs and MICs. The resulting MMF, denoted as MMC\(^{(2)}\), revises the first-order estimate of MMF, denoted as MMC\(^{(1)}\), for which determination no corrections due to PEJs and FACs have been applied. Vertical dashed violet lines denote the mid-latitude interval \(I_{_{\mathrm{ML}}}^{10^\circ }\)
