Abstract:SUMMARY
Some 25 rocket profiles of the current density of the eastward ionospheric lower current layer close to the magnetic dip equator, one profile of the reverse westward lower current layer at about 5° dip latitude and five profiles of the eastward upper current layer within 0° to about 8° dip latitude have been modelled giving the following results. The parameters of the eastward lower current layer within 0° to 2° dip latitude around local noon are; peak current density normalized to dip equator 10.4 ± 6… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
