Scientific paper

An analysis of the relative importance of the contribution from the
Lorentz force and the Joule heating rate as source for the TIDs reveals
that a strong height dependence must be expected. Also it is found that
for horizontal electric fields larger than about 40 mV/m the Joule
heating rate will be most dominant above 110 km.
