A mechanism for the generation of field aligned currents during magnetospheric substorms is presented. The energy which is injected to the geomagnetic tail is converted into plasma flow energy in solar and anti-solar directions. When the flow meets the inner magnetosphere, a viscous interaction occurs. This interaction creates time-increasing vorticities which produce field aligned currents upward in the pre-midnight sector and downward in the post-midnight sector.
