How Does the Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Current System Respond to Solar Flares?
While the isolated effects of solar flares on low‐latitude ionospheric electrodynamics have been well documented, the coupled system response of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ), auroral electrojet (AEJ), field‐aligned currents (FACs), and asymmetric ring

Equatorial electrojet as part of the global circuit: a case-study from the IEEY [PDF]
Geomagnetic storm-time variations often occur coherently at high latitude and the day-side dip equator where they affect the normal eastward Sq field. This paper presents an analysis of ground magnetic field and ionospheric electrodynamic data related

Evidence and effects of a wave-driven nonlinear current in the equatorial electrojet [PDF]
Ionospheric two-stream waves and gradient-drift waves nonlinearly drive a large-scale (D.C.) current in the E-region ionosphere. This current flows parallel to, and with a comparable magnitude to, the fundamental Pedersen current.

Counter electrojet features in the Brazilian sector: simultaneous observation by radar, digital sounder and magnetometers [PDF]
In the present work we show new results regarding equatorial counter electrojet (CEJ) events in the Brazilian sector, based on the RESCO radar, two set of fluxgate magnetometer systems and a digital sounder.

Characterizations of the diurnal shapes of OI 630.0 nm dayglow intensity variations: inferences [PDF]
Measurements of OI 630.0 nm thermospheric dayglow emission by means of the Dayglow Photometer (DGP) at Mt. Abu (24.6° N, 73.7° E, dip lat 19.09° N), a station under the crest of Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA), reveal day-to-day changes in the ...

An intense SFE and SSC event in geomagnetic H, Y and Z fields at the Indian chain of observatories [PDF]
Changes in the three components of geomagnetic field are reported at the chain of ten geomagnetic observatories in India during an intense solar crochet that occurred at 1311 h 75° EMT on 15 June 1991 and the subsequent sudden commencement (SSC) of ...

Simulations of secondary Farley-Buneman instability driven by a kilometer-scale primary wave: anomalous transport and formation of flat-topped electric fields [PDF]
Since the 1950s, high frequency and very high frequency radars near the magnetic equator have frequently detected strong echoes caused ultimately by the Farley‐Buneman instability (FBI) and the gradient drift instability (GDI).
