Dipolar elementary current systems for ionospheric current reconstruction at low and middle latitudes

Abstract The technique of spherical elementary current systems (SECS) is a powerful way to determine ionospheric and field-aligned currents (FAC) from magnetic field measurements made by low-Earth-orbiting satellites, possibly in combination with magnetometer arrays on the ground. The SECS method co...
