Abstract

The paper is devoted to questions connected with the possible effects of excitation of local current systems in the E-region of the ionosphere on the basis of a quasi-three-dimensional model. A hypothesis of local current generation caused by the action of short-time intense neutral winds on sporadic E-layers of finite horizontal dimensions is accepted. Currents in two horizontal E s -layers and field-aligned currents connecting the borders of these two layers are considered. The Hall currents in sporadic layers can be strong enough to generate Farley-Buneman turbulence. Some heating effects of local electric fields and the effects on the electron distribution function are found which cause effective excitation of some ionosphere neutral components.
