From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atmospheric dynamo is a pattern of electrical currents that are set up in the Earth's ionosphere by multiple effects, mostly the Sun's solar wind, but also the tides of the Moon and Sun.[1][2] The currents flow in circuits between the poles and the equator, but they are not well understood.[3]
