Meridional motions of the afternoon radar aurora, auroral electrojets, and absorption patches under variable IMF conditions [PDF]
The meridional motions of the CUTLASS HF and STARE VHF coherent echoes, IMAGE equivalent electrojet currents, and IRIS absorption patches during the postnoon/early-evening event of 14 February 2000 are presented.

Longitudinal variation of equatorial electrojet and the occurrence of its counter electrojet [PDF]
We examined the longitudinal variability of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) and the occurrence of its counter electrojet (CEJ) using the available records of the horizontal component H of the geomagnetic field simultaneously recorded in the year 2009 (

Indices of equatorial electrojet and counter-electrojet in the Indian region: Evolution of the indices and their authenticity [PDF]
Indices of the equatorial electrojet and counter-electrojet in the Indian region have been evolved based on certain reasonable assumptions, by a criterion depending on the difference in the horizontal field strength between a station under the electrojet axis (Trivandrum) and a station outside the jet influence (Alibag).

Distortions in the height structure of the equatorial electrojet during counter electrojet events
This paper presents simultaneous observations made near the magnetic equator during counter electrojet events using a coherent VHF backscattcr radar, magnetometer and digital ionosonde to understand the physical processes that generate the counter electrojet conditions.

On the electrojet in South America [PDF]
The diurnal variation in the horizontal component (H) of south american stations under and close to the electrojet were plotted during the I.G.Y. Thus a dilatation towards the south of the electrojet in the western part of South America was inferred.

RF heating in a strong auroral electrojet
Results are reported from experiments in which the high power HF facility at Tromso, Norway was employed to modify the Hall current region of the auroral ionosphere during periods when the electrojet became enhanced. During conditions characterised by a weak electrojet and completely underdense heating, observations indicated that RF heating leads to ...

Real-time determination and monitoring of the auroral electrojet boundaries [PDF]
A method for nowcasting of the auroral electrojet location from real-time geomagnetic data in the European sector is presented. Along the auroral ovals strong electrojet currents are flowing. The variation in the geomagnetic field caused by these auroral

Critical problems of equatorial electrojet
This paper describes the general features of the equatorial electrojet current over the magnetic equator based on ground geomagnetic observatory data, rocket borne magnetometer data, ground based HF and VHF sounding of the atmosphere. Also are described its association with magnetosphere currents, interplanetary magnetic field charges and with ...

Equatorial electrojet and regular daily variation S—II. the centre of the equatorial electrojet
Abstract Magnetic ground data have previously been described, and a method for the quantitative determination of the equatorial electrojet parameters (by splitting up the regular daily variation S R into the electrojet component S R E and the planetary component S R P ) presented ( fambita-koye and Mayaud , 1975).

Electrojet Estimates From Mesospheric Magnetic Field Measurements [PDF]
The auroral electrojet is traditionally measured remotely with magnetometers on ground or in low Earth orbit (LEO). The sparse distribution of measurements, combined with a vertical distance of some 100 km to ground and typically >300 km to LEO ...
