Cause of the preliminary reverse impulse of storms

Journal Article · · Journal of Geophysical Research
Atmospheric-current functions obtained for sudden commencements are analyzed. Electric-charge distributions in the ionosphere are deduced that could drive the part of the currents asymmetric about the geomagnetic axis. It is supposed, as an approximation, that only the Hall electric conductivity need be taken into account. Distortions of the outer magnetosphere that may give rise to the reverse impulse are discussed.
