Abstract
• New basis functions suitable for fitting ionospheric electrojet magnetic signatures are developed • The basis functions are constructed from principal components analysis of current loops in quasi-dipole geometry confined to the electrojet regions • The utility of these new basis functions is demonstrated by fitting them to multiyear Swarm satellite measurements of the ionospheric field25 Oct 2024Submitted to ESS Open Archive 25 Oct 2024Published in ESS Open Archive
