Scientific paper

The observations of metal ions in significant concentrations and in layer formation in the lower E-region are briefly reviewed. It is expected that a metal ion layer may alter the electroconductivity of the ionosphere and modify the distribution of ionospheric dynamo current. The variation in the electroconductivity is theoretically calculated, and it is shown that the Pedersen conductivity is reduced by less than 14 percent. A metal ion layer, similar to those observed, is numerically modeled in the equatorial region and its electrodynamic effects on the equatorial electrojet are numerically examined using the self-consistent model of the ionospheric dynamo.
