A study of the equatorial electrojet—I An experimental study

POGO Observations Of The Equatorial Electrojet

“…Such studies as those by Onwumechilli (1959) and by Forbush and Casaverde (1961) confirmed earlier estimates by workers such as Martyn (1949) that the current was concentrated over a narrow band about the dip equator and that its intensity was highly variable from dayto-day.…”

Sq and EEJ—A Review on the Daily Variation of the Geomagnetic Field Caused by Ionospheric Dynamo Currents

“…Features of the equatorial electrojet have been studied at different longitudes: e.g., for the Pacific region ∼ 160°W by Mason (1963); for the South American region ∼ 75°W by Forbush and Casaverde (1961), Hutton (1967); ∼ 62°W by Rastogi et al (2008); ∼ 45°W by Rigoti et al (1999), Rastogi et al (2010); for the African region ∼ 5°E by Onwumechili (1959), Ogbuehi and Onwumechilli (1963); ∼ 11 • E by Doumouya et al (1998); ∼ 16°E by Mayaud (1976a, 1976b); ∼ 39°E by Rastogi and Chandra (2015); for the Central Asian region ∼ 77°E by , Rabiu et al (2013); ∼ 81°E by Rastogi et al (2004); for the East Asian region ∼ 125°E by Yamazaki et al (2010). Comparisons of the equatorial electrojet intensities at various longitude sectors have revealed a strong dependence on the main field B (Rastogi 1962;Doumouya et al 2003;Abdul Hamid et al 2015).…”
