Investigation of electrical currents in the auroral ionosphere. Final report, 1 July 1976 - 31 December 1978
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5542858
Two papers are presented on the investigation of electrical currents in the auroral ionosphere: (1) The Relationship Between Field-Aligned Current Carried by Suprathermal Electrons, and the Auroral Arc; and (2) Ionospheric Electrical Currents in the Late Evening Plasma Flow Reversal. In the first paper (1), data from four auroral sounding rockets, which directly measured field-aligned currents with partical detectors, are presented. In the second paper (2), data are presented for an instrumented sounding rocket that was launched from Andoya, Norway in January 1977, in the late evening auroral oval.
