MFACE: An empirical model for auroral field-aligned currents
- EOF1 represents the Bz-controlled large-scale Region 1/Region 2 current pattern.
- EOF2 captures the By-controlled cusp current signature.
- The license has been changed from v1.0.0.0 to the Apache License, Version 2.0.
- The Matlab code has been translated to Python 3 and is currently being released.
