Earth Ionosphere: Currents

Scientific paper

The counter equatorial electrojet (CEJ) occurring at all hours from 0700 to 1700 h LT in the Indian sector have been studied. The percentage occurrence of morning and afternoon CEJ in each hour and each season are given and discussed. The first quantitative determinations of eight landmark parameters that depict the structures of hourly latitudinal profiles of CEJ current have been presented and discussed. These are the peak height integrated forward current density (or intensity) at the centre of the current, the peak return current intensity, the ratio of the peak return to the peak forward current intensity, the total forward current, the dip latitude of the current centre, the distance of the focus from the current centre, the distance of the peak return current intensity from the centre, and the latitudinal extent of the current. The authors reveal new and interesting features of diurnal and seasonal variations, and marked contrasts between morning and afternoon CEJ. Other evidences support their focal distance w of CEJ. Comparison with equatorial electrojet (EEJ) shows that five of the parameters are similar for EEJ and morning CEJ but substantially different for afternoon CEJ. The counter worldwide part of Sq currents have also been compared with CEJ.
