Scientific paper

Data from the Polar Orbital Geophysical Observatory satellites in daytime at altitudes of 400-800 km spanning all longitudes of the earth included at least 70 readings of the electrojet parameters for each longitude. Daytime averages, hourly averages of the half-width, the current intensity, and the total current of the equatorial electrojet were determined for eight sectors in 45 deg longitudinal increments. The total current value was found to agree well with ground station data. The sectorial mean half width values of the equatorial electrojet remained close to the mean value at 234 km, with an s.d. of 6 km. Peak current intensity regions were found at 45-90 deg and 270-315 deg at 1100, 1400, and 1500 L.T. The lowest current intensity occurred at 135-180 deg.
