Vertical winds as a plausible cause for equatorial counter electrojet

· Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)
The signatures of the counter-electrojet that occurs in the afternoon hours as recorded on the ground and satellite-borne magnetometers during the magnetically quiet days, clearly indicate reversal of the jet current in a narrow latitude region centered around the dip equator. The latitudinal variation of the vertical (Z) and northward (H) components of the earth's magnetic field reveal that the decrease and reversal of the eastward toroidal current of the jet is maximum around the dip equator.
