Abstract

The low latitude and longitude effects of an enhanced electric field on the daytime ionospheric F2-region are analyzed using a simple model. The calculations performed have been applied to the early stages of a geomagnetic storm, when the magnetospheric electric field is intensified. For storms with commencement near local noon it has been found that the electric field effect on the vertical drift and peak electron density of the F2 region is pronounced at equatorial latitudes, decreasing with increasing latitude, which indicates a smoothing of the equatorial anomaly shortly after the geomagnetic storm starts. The results obtained with the model are in concordance with experimental observations.
