Scientific paper

Electric fields and currents in the ionosphere during solar eclipse are calculated. Three-dimensional anisotropic and inhomogeneous conductivity distribution is taken into consideration. Electrical conductivity is assumed to be decreased by the solar eclipse, but winds are not altered. It is shown that the additional currents and fields due to the eclipse are essentially understood as those generated by the obstruction to S(q) currents. However, the currents flow preferentially in the region nearer to the noon meridian and at the equator and partly escape through the field-aligned currents to the opposite hemisphere, and therefore the effect of the solar eclipse is also seen in the opposite hemisphere in the deformed shape.
