Scientific paper
The paper identifies and summarizes significant contributions to the understanding of magnetospheric currents during the years 1975-1978. Consideration is given to: (1) ionospheric currents, (2) auroral electrojets and global visual auroral features, (3) auroral electrojets and radar observations, and (4) diurnal patterns of current intensities, statistical patterns during substorms. Birkeland currents are reviewed in relation to radar aurora, visual aurora, auroral electrojets, particle observations, auroral kilometric radiation, and the interplanetary magnetic field. Attention is also given to ring currents, boundary currents, and geomagnetic tail currents.
