Description:
The electric fields at the solar activity minimum on the magnetic equator are evaluated based on data from rocket studies of the vertical profiles of the ionospheric-current magnetic fields and electron concentration. The electric field strength is 1-4 X 100 CGSM units. In addition, the electric field has altitude and time distributions. Its maximum is observed at a height of 110 km, and at 90 and 140 km, it is smaller by a factor of 3-4 than at the 110-km height. The maximum values are registered around noon.
