3-dimensional closure of field-aligned currents in the polar ionosphere

This contains the original simulation data used by the paper '3-dimensional closure of field-aligned currents in the polar ionosphere', which will appear in Journal of Geophysical Research - Space Physics. The data were obtained by the Hall MHD simulation. 

Each VTK file (Visualization Tookkit format) contains the physical variables in the magnetosphere and the ionosphere at t = 0 sec for Initial Condition and at t = 4.0 sec for Case 1,2, and 3, including

• number density (d in 1/km3),
• magnetic field vector (B in uT),
• electric field vector (E in V/km),
• velocity vector (V in km/s),
• current density vector (J in A/km2).

Each VTK file contains the physical variables in the magnetosphere and the ionosphere at 203 km altitude under the thin-layer approximation for Case 1 and 2, including

• number density (d in 1/km3),
• electric field vector (E in V/km),
• current density vector (J in A/km2).

The VTK file can be opened by the software VisIT.
