We determine the primary modes of field‐aligned current (FAC) variability and their hemispheric asymmetry by nonlinear regression analysis of a multiyear global data set of Iridium constellation engineering‐grade magnetometer data from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment program. The spatial and temporal FAC variability associated with three major categories of solar wind drivers, (1) slow flow, (2) high‐speed streams (HSS), (3) transient flow related to coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and (4) a combination of these, is characterized as empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) and their time‐varying amplitude. For the combined solar wind category, the order of the modes of variability are strengthening/weakening of (1) EOF1—all FACs; (2) EOF2—Region 2 (R2) FACs; and (3) EOF3—dayside/nightside FACs. The first two EOFs are associated with solar wind coupling; EOF3 is associated with the ecliptic components of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We also find hemispheric asymmetry in FACs. Northern Hemisphere EOFs show clearer spatial features and higher correlation coefficients with solar wind drivers. The Northern Hemisphere also shows higher correlation coefficients in all seasons except winter. We find transient flow EOFs to be better correlated with solar wind drivers such as IMFBzand coupling functions, while HSS EOFs are better correlated with solar wind plasma parameters. CME‐related transient flow EOFs also show R2 FAC variabilities that are not found in other separate wind drivers. Application of the EOF analysis to the Iridium magnetometer data shows significant promise for greater understanding of geoeffectiveness of solar wind interactions with geospace.
