Equatorial electrojet

ID: equatorial-electrojet

The Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ) is a narrow band of enhanced eastward flowing electric current that occurs in the equatorial region of the Earth's ionosphere, specifically between approximately 1°N and 1°S latitude. This phenomenon is primarily observed in the E-region of the ionosphere, at altitudes ranging from about 100 to 120 kilometers (approximately 62 to 75 miles) above the Earth's surface.
