摘要: Abstract In order to envisage the circulation pattern of magnetospheric plasma produced by dynamo action in ionosphere, distribution dynamo-induced electrostatic field resulting from basic ionospheric wind systems is studied. It then shown use Maeda's that there exists a remarkable large-scale plasma, inward (earthward) on evening side magnetosphere and outward morning side. This motion comparable Earth's rotation zonal winds ionosphere. also can cause considerable radial some energetic particles radiation belt.
