Scientific paper

In this paper, an analysis is made of Es data from three chains of ionospheric stations near the magnetic equator in three different longitudes. Some of the stations were set up during the I.G.Y. period. The analysis shows that the electrojet as judged by the diurnal range of H, extends up to ±7° magnetic dip from the magnetic equator in high sunspot years and only to ±5° in low sunspot years. A dependence on longitude and a seasonal displacement of the peak of Es, ionization in this narrow zone are observed. There are many similarities between the variations of Es ionization and the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field near the magnetic equator. Some differences are, however, found in their seasonal and sunspot-cycle variations.
