MFACE
A high-resolution model of field-aligned currents
...Compared to existing models, MFACE yields significantly better spatial resolution, reproduces typically observed FAC thickness and intensity, improves on the magnetic local time distribution, and gives the seasonal dependence of FAC latitudes and the NBZ current signature. Our EOF decomposition reveals that EOF1 represents mainly the Bz-controlled large scale R1/R2 current pattern whereas EOF2 represents the By-controlled cusp current signature.
