 Comprehensive decomposition of the statistical maps of FAC derived from magnetic measurements by Øersted, CHAMP and Magsat satellites shows presence of interhemispheric FAC (IHFAC).  The IHFACs are downward (upward) in the summer (winter) hemisphere being located mainly in the near-noon and premidnight-midnight MLT sectors in the vicinity of the polar cap boundary.  The current density is about 0.1 μА m -2.  The value and direction of IHFAC is consistent with the observed magnetotail B y, depending on the season.
