However, the electrodynamics in the polar ionosphere has not been studied for this kind of events. In this paper, the KRM magnetogram-inversion algorithm, combined with the magnetic record at the north hemisphere, was utilized to deduce the distribution of the current vector, the current function, and the electric potential in the polar ionosphere during the substorm event on 13 Dec. 2004. The results show a sudden enhancement of the westward electrojet at the midnight sector after the expansion onset. The equivalent current system was characterized as a two-vortex structure at the nightside, in association with a southward electric field. All
