| Abstract: |
We combine magnetic data from the first 46 data‐taking periapsides of the polar orbiting Juno spacecraft spanning dawn to dusk via midnight to investigate azimuthal fields and related currents in Jupiter's nightside magnetosphere. Data are binned by perpendicular radial distance ρ from the magnetic axis over 4–32 RJ along empirical poloidal model field lines spanning from tail to middle magnetosphere regions (ionospheric colatitudes θi ∼ 5°–17°), and by local time (LT). The data are well organized by these parameters. On southern tail field lines (∼5° |
