Scientific paper

A peculiar type of short-period magnetic variation has been noted in International Magnetospheric Magnetometer Array observations which involves a positive deflection of the geomagnetic D component from the quiet time level; the disturbance of the H component approximately represents the negative time derivative of the D component. Most events were observed during moderately quiet times. A more detailed analysis of two events reveals a two-cell equivalent current vortex structure. Simultaneous GEOS 2 magnetic field observations of one of these events support their interpretation as pairs of downward (in the west) and upward (in the east) field-aligned currents in the magnetosphere.
