摘要: Abstract In the mid-latitude E-region, wind-shear mechanism produces thin ionized layers at levels where vertical ion velocity is zero. We show that such conduct electric current only towards magnetic equator, and not in zonal direction. surmise this property may influence field distribution nocturnal ionosphere, possibly also coupling between drifts neutral air winds F-region. Detailed case studies of located near peak Pedersen conductivity (around 130km) are needed to test idea.
