Relationship Between the Polar Electrojet Dynamics and the Amplitude of ELF/VLF Signal from the Ionospheric Source in the Modulated Ionospheric Heating Experiment

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We consider the results of the experiment on the polar ionosphere heating by a high-power modulated HF wave conducted by the AARI at the EISCAT/heating facility in October 2016. The data on joint processing of the values of the equivalent polar electrojet current above the heated ionosphere region retrieved by the IMAGE network of ground-based stations and the amplitudes of a signal of the horizontal component of the magnetic field from an ionospheric source at the modulation frequency recorded in the PGI network of high-latitude stations are presented. The events with a strong positive correlation between the magnetic field amplitude variations and the polar electrojet current variations are considered. It is shown that if the direction of the current changes from eastward to northward, correlation between the current variations and magnetic field variations almost disappears at a modulation frequency of 3017 Hz. Temporal and spatial variations of the coefficient of linear regression of the amplitude of the horizontal magnetic-field component with respect to the electrojet current are analyzed. In the transition from day to night, which is accompanied by the electrojet current decrease, the regression slope increases, and it decreases with increasing distance between the heater and the observation point.
