Scientific paper

We use Iridium constellation magnetometer data to characterize the global-scale storm-time Birkeland currents. For 11 12 August 2000 we find a strong storm main phase dawn dusk asymmetry in the latitudes of the region 1 2 current systems and that the total current is not linearly related to the interplanetary electric field, Ey. Examination of 23 storms occurring for 1999 2003 shows clear evidence for a non-linear, saturation behavior in total current with Ey, with the total Birkeland current constrained to be below 20 MA.
