A daytime production of photo-ionization associated with solar extreme ultra-violet (EUV) radiation increases electron density at all the latitudes as discussed by Rishbeth et al. (2000) using solar radio flux as a proxy for solar EUV. In addition to photoionization during quiet geomagnetic conditions, the varying atmosphere neutral wind modulated electron density across all latitudes (Balan et al., 2018). Compared to the high and middle latitudes, the equatorial and low-latitude ionosphere is also strongly associated with a transport process characterized by the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) strength, fountain effect and equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA). During the quiet conditions, the magnetic equator's daytime zonal electric field (EEJ strength) generated by wind dynamo
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
