Scientific paper

Simple theoretical models of the F-region are used to interpret observations of ionospheric properties obtained at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico in terms of electric currents and pressure gradients. Measured gradients in properties such as the ion drift velocity vector and the neutral wind speed point to local current divergence. It is suggested that current continuity is maintained by the exchange of charge between hemispheres. The present model indicates that the conjugate ionospheres behave differently at night, with one F-region moving down when the other moves up, and with one F-region tilting upward to the east when the other tilts downward to the east.
