A quantitative study of magnetospheric magnetic field line deformation by a two-loop substorm current wedge
Substorm current wedge (SCW) formation is associated with global magnetic field reconfiguration during substorm expansion. We combine a two-loop model SCW (SCW2L) with a background magnetic field model to investigate distortion of the ionospheric footpoint pattern in response to changes of differ...
