Scientific paper

Possible mechanisms for current generation in the ionosphere are discussed and applied to the release experiment. Trigger, in which cesium ions were released by an explosive mixture and the electric field, plasma density, and particle density were measured. It is shown that chemical releases in the ionosphere are capable of locally perturbing the auroral particle flux, and that field aligned currents created by the released ion cloud are the probable cause. In this particular experiment, the expanding cloud mechanism may be a candidate for generation of a field aligned current density exceeding the critical density for current triggered plasma instabilities in the topside ionosphere.
