Evidence and effects of a wave-driven nonlinear current in the equatorial electrojet
Ionospheric two-stream waves and gradient-drift waves nonlinearly drive a large-scale (D.C.) current in the <i>E</i>-region ionosphere. This current flows parallel to, and with a comparable magnitude to, the fundamental Pedersen current. Evidence for the existence and magnitude of wa...
