Scientific paper

Electrojet data obtained by the POGO satellite for the winter solstitial season of 1968 and the summer solstitial season of 1969 are presented. The electrojet half width, its peak current intensity, and its total eastward current are found to all vary substantially with local time. Peak current intensity and total eastward current are shown to attain a maximum, and electrojet half width a minimum, at around local noon. The results suggest direct solar control. The diurnal variations noted can be explaned in terms of the diurnal distribution of the electrical conductivity of the ionosphere and winds.
