The east–west component of magnetic field variation (∆D-component) at Davao station (Philippines, geomagnetic latitude: – 2.22˚N) are used to investigate the characteristics of the long-term Inter-Hemispheric Field-Aligned Currents (IHFACs) based on the time-series analysis from August 1998 to July 2020. Recent in situ satellite and ground-based observations have reported that dusk-side current polarity of IHFAC is often opposite to that of the noon IHFAC, being inconsistent with Fukushima's IHFACs model. We investigated the consistency of the dusk-side IHFAC polarity derived from the observations with the polarity expected from Fukushima’s IHFACs model and examined the solar cycle dependence of IHFACs. It was confirmed that the dusk-side IHFACs during June and December solstices flow in the same direction of the noontime IHFACs, which was consistent with the IHFAC polarities suggested by the Fukushima model. The dusk-side IHFACs around March and September–November months disagreed with the Fukushima model. The ∆D variations clearly showed seasonal asymmetry in the dawn and noon sectors, whereas the ∆D variations in the dusk sector demonstrated seasonal symmetry. Solar cycle dependence of IHFACs was exhibited in the dusk sector. For the dawn and noon sectors, the yearly peak-to-peak ∆D amplitude in the later solar cycle SC24 decreased by about 35% in comparison with the earlier solar cycle SC23. In contrast, the dusk-side yearly peak-to-peak ∆D amplitude increased by about 200%. The dusk-side IHFAC yearly amplitude tended to be in inverse proportion to solar activity.

从太阳活动周期 23-24 期间赤道地磁场数据的时间序列分析推导出的半球间场对齐电流的季节性变化

磁场变化的东西向分量 (Δ D-分量)在达沃站(菲律宾,地磁纬度:– 2.22˚N)用于研究基于 1998 年 8 月至 7 月的时间序列分析的长期半球间场对齐流 (IHFAC) 的特征2020. 最近的卫星和地面观测表明,IHFAC 的黄昏侧电流极性往往与中午 IHFAC 的极性相反,与福岛的 IHFACs 模型不一致。我们研究了观测得出的黄昏侧 IHFAC 极性与福岛 IHFAC 模型预期的极性的一致性,并检查了 IHFAC 的太阳周期依赖性。已确认 6 月和 12 月至日的黄昏侧 IHFAC 与中午 IHFAC 的流动方向相同,这与福岛模型建议的 IHFAC 极性一致。3 月和 9 月至 11 月左右的黄昏 IHFAC 不同意福岛模型。∆黎明和中午扇区的D变化清楚地显示出季节性不对称,而黄昏扇区的 Δ D变化则显示出季节性对称性。IHFACs 的太阳周期依赖性表现在黄昏区域。对于黎明和中午扇区,与较早的太阳周期 SC23 相比,后期太阳周期 SC24的年峰峰值 ∆ D幅度下降了约 35%。相比之下,黄昏侧的年峰峰值∆D幅度增​​加了约 200%。黄昏侧的 IHFAC 年振幅往往与太阳活动成反比。
