Scientific paper

It is shown that quiet-day afternoon counterelectrojet events at equatorial stations are the result of a strong semidiurnal tidal force, with a maximum around 0900 LT and a minimum around 1500 LT, superimposed over the normal Sq (H) variation. This additional eastward electric field in the forenoon hours over the magnetic equator is shown to cause an enhancement of the equatorial F-layer plasma fountain, and results in a lower foF2 at the equator.
