Description

This contains the original simulation data used by the paper 'Where is Region 1 field-aligned current generated?', which will appear in Journal of Geophysical Research - Space Physics. The data were obtained by the global MHD simulation (REPPU) with Level 6. 

The VTK file (Visualization Tookkit format) contains the physical variables in the magnetosphere at t = 244. 8 min as

  • plasma pressure (P in nPa),
  • velocity vector (V in km/s),
  • current density vector (J in nA/m2),
  • magnetic field vector (B in nT).

The VTK file can be opened by Visualization Toolkit, and 3-D visualization software packages "VisIT", and "ParaView". 

 

The ASCII files named packet-position-P.txt and packet-position-Q.txt include lists of the position of the packet traced backward in time from the positions P and Q, respectively.
