摘要: Abstract A new method of numerically solving a suitably formulated ionospheric wind dynamo equation for electrostatic potential and field is developed. Unlike in many other models, the upper boundary does not exist formulation asymptotically approaches equatorial condition. Therefore, it naturally incorporates symmetric, asymmetric E- F-region actions any given ionosphere global or local field. It also enables to be posed as an initial value problem solved using efficient, accurate, stable fast integration ordinary differential equations. The numerical technique can extended compute three dimensional dynamo-generated electric currents ionosphere.
