OBSERVATIONS RELATING TO THE DISTANCE SCALE FOR MOTIONS OF ELECTROJET- ELECTRON PRECIPITATION REGIONS IN THE AURORAL ZONE

Journal Article · · Journal of Geophysical Research (U.S.)

From a comparison of x-ray, ionospheric absorption, and geomagnetic observations during an intense electronprecipitation event in the auroral zone, it is shown that the distance scale for motions of electrojet--electron precipitation regions is smaller than previously considered. This requires a downward revision of the correction factors for currents induced in the earth by ionospheric current systems. (auth)
