摘要: Mathematical expressions have been constructed that allow the large-scale global convection characteristics of high-latitude ionosphere to be reproduced. The model contains no discontinuities in ion velocity and as such should useful F region chemical models. number variables features dayside throat Harang discontinuity modeled. applicability magnetospheric physics is limited by exclusion large-magnitude small-scale flow associated with discrete arcs inability produce separate cells at same local time.
