摘要:
The Sqp equivalent current system of the quiet day geomagnetic variation in the polar region is very complicated. It is composed of several currents, such as the ionospheric dynamo current and the auroral electrojet caused by the field-aligned current. Sqp is unsymmetrical in both polar regions. In this paper, the Sqp current systems are analyzed in the corrected geomagnetic coordinates (CGM) instead of the conventional geomagnetic coordinates (GM), and the symmetries of the Sqp current in different systems are compared. Then the causes of Sqp asymmetry in the GM coordinates are discussed; the effects of each component in Sqp are determined.
