Short summary
A configuration of field-aligned currents (FACs) that can explain the rapid variation in the geomagnetic field in mid-latitude Europe on 29 October 2003 was recently proposed. Interestingly, this specific system of the FACs might also explain the famous Carrington event on 2 September 1859. By analysing the declination observed in mid-latitude Europe on 29 October 2003, we confirmed an important feature of the proposed current system, the westward movement of one of the FACs.
