The study of rocket measurements suggests the following conclusions. (1) Ionospheric currents are basically in two layers. (2) The upper current layer with a steady altitude extent of 18±3 km is global and should be regarded as the worldwide part of the Sq current system. (3) The intense eastward lower current layer at the magnetic dip equator that terminates in a focus within 2° to 4° dip latitude, together with the reverse westward lower current layer that peaks around 5.3±0.7° dip latitude, should be regarded as the equatorial electrojet (EEJ). (4) The EEJ and the worldwide part of the Sq current system are coupled, sometimes overlapping in varying degrees, especially within 0° to 0.5° dip latitude where the overlap often leads to a hybrid current system. (5) The lunar geomagnetic variations result from the modulations of the above current layers and not from a separate current layer.
