EQUATORIAL DRIFT AND THE ELECTROJET
Journal Article
·
· Journal of Geophysical Research (U.S.)
Apparent horizontal east-west drift velocities in the F layer were measured near the magnetic equator at Tamale in northern Ghana by the spaced- receiver, pulse-fading method. These velocities are compared with changes in the horizontal magnetic field strength in the daytime. It is shown that the drift velocity is closely related to the current strength in the equatorial electrojet and that it increases when the jet current increases. (auth)
