Scientific paper

The constant electric field and the conductivity of the auroral ionosphere were measured on March 6 and 13, 1974 by meteorological rockets in magnetically quiet periods. The following results were noted: (1) the magnitude of transverse electric fields at heights from 100-170 km near closed geomagnetic field lines was found to be 20-50 mV/m and the field orientation coincided with the basic convection pattern of the magnetospheric tail; (2) the magnitude of longitudinal electric fields was found to be not greater than 8-12 mV/m; and (3) both electric fields and conductivity were found to be height-dependent.
