Figure 4. Distributions of FAC densities (in 10${}^{-9}$ A/m${}^{2}$) inferred from the Swarm A data for northern winter (left), northern summer (middle), and northern fall equinox (right) polar caps in the MLT-MLat coordinates; red regions are downward currents, and blue regions are upward currents, while white areas generally denote a lack of available data. The upper and lower plots correspond to the IMF $B_z>0$ and $B_z<0$, respectively.
