Abstract
This review deals with observations of field-aligned currents (FAC) based on measurements of magnetic and electrical fields, particle fluxes (0.2–15 keV) and plasma parameters, provided by the INTERCOSMOS BULGARIA-1300 satellite. Special attention is paid to the cusp sector (10–14 MLT). The current regions inferred from the satellite magnetometer are compared with the charecteristics of the dayside oval and the cusp derived from a variety of parameters. Our topics are as follows: penetration of region 1 in the cusp; FAC reversals and plasma convection; thermal plasma structure and collocation of FAC; Associations with the IMF components etc.
