Electron precipitation accompanying ionospheric current systems in the auroral zone

· Journal of Geophysical Research
>From examination of x-ray and ionospheric absorption data during magnetic bays in the auroral zone, it is found that electron precipitation on the atmosphere accompanies auroral-zone electrojets. The position of an electrojet and its associated electron precipitation region, rather than the amount of current in the system, largely controls the magnitude of x-ray and ionospheric absorption effects.
