A kinetic model for runaway electrons in the ionosphere

Electrodynamic models and measurements with satellites and incoherent scatter radars predict large field aligned current densities on one side of the auroral arcs. Different authors and different kinds of studies (experimental or modeling) agree that the current density can reach up to hundreds...
