A plasma model which considers finite parallel resistivity is defined in order to demonstrate that stratification of plasma density along the geomagnetic field lines can allow a plasma cloud to traverse the magnetic field without having an internal parallel electric field. The applied current density field driving the induced electrostatic potential is allowed to vary along the field lines. It is assumed that the cloud has an ellipsoidal shape and is surrounded by uniform conductivity. Calculations show that the uniform E X B motion of the cloud is possible if the density profile within the cloud is greatest where the applied current density field (the neutral wind) is lowest. The density within the cloud must also be lowest where the applied current density is largest. Extension of the model to conglomerates of clouds (striations) are discussed.
