Scientific paper
The Triad (at a height of 800 km) and Ogo 5 (in the high altitude magnetosphere) magnetic field observations have shown the existence of a field-aligned current system consisting of currents flowing in the polar cap boundary layer and those flowing in another layer located equatorward of the former. In the polar cap boundary layer (identified as the high-latitude boundary of the plasma sheet in the nightside magnetosphere), the current flows into the ionosphere on the morning side and away from the ionosphere on the afternoon side. In the lower-latitude layer, the current directions are reversed. The current in the polar cap boundary layer is considered as the primary field-aligned current system.
