Analytical description of electric currents in the magnetosheath region

Veselovsky, I. S.; Vandas, M.; Romashets, E.

Volume currents in the magnetosheath region are calculated within the framework of a new analytical model. Magnetic field structure in the region is found, satisfying boundary conditions on the bow shock and the magnetopause, and then volume currents are calculated using the Maxwell equation. Surface bow shock and magnetopause currents are calcula…
