Abstract:The presence of the dawn‐to‐dusk electric field of about 4 mV/m in the Jovian inner magnetosphere and its response to the enhancement of the solar wind dynamic pressure are still a mystery of the rotation‐dominated Jovian magnetosphere. Previous studies have suggested that magnetosphere‐ionosphere (M‐I) coupling via Region 2‐like (R2‐like) field‐aligned current (FAC) could be the origin of the Jovian dawn‐to‐dusk electric field. This study investigates whether the dawn‐to‐dusk electric field is formed from thi… Show more
