In geomagnetic field: The ionospheric dynamo
…variation has been dubbed the solar quiet-day variation, S_q. The magnetic variations can be used to deduce an equivalent electric current system, which, if flowing in the E region of the ionosphere, would produce the observed changes. This system was shown for the equinoctial conditions of equal illumination of both…
