Generation of Electrojets in Weakly Ionized Plasmas through a Collisional Dynamo
Yakov S. Dimant, Meers M. Oppenheim, Alex. C. Fletcher
Intense electric currents called electrojets occur in weakly ionized magnetized plasmas. An example occurs in the Earth's ionosphere near the magnetic equator where neutral winds d…
