Magnetotail Flux Accumulation Leads to Substorm Current Wedge Formation: A Case Study

Reconnection‐generated earthward flows, magnetic field dipolarizations, and auroral expansions are related to substorm current wedge (SCW) development. It has been suggested that field‐aligned currents (FACs) within the SCW can be generated by flow vortices, pressure gradients, or both. Observations...
