Abstract

The magnetogram inversion technique was applied to the onground data of the SuperMAG project to examine the distribution dynamics of field-aligned currents (FACs) in the ionosphere of both hemispheres during an interval of stationary magnetospheric convection at IMF BY < 0. It was shown that in the absence of explosive processes, a quadrant asymmetry in the FAC distribution occurs. During substorms, FACs predominated in the dawn sector in both hemispheres. Enhancement in both electrojets is accompanied by PiB pulsations.
