説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The response of the ionospheric bottomside electron density profile parameters of the <jats:italic>F</jats:italic>2 layer, namely, the maximum electron density (<jats:italic>NmF</jats:italic>2), the maximum height of <jats:italic>F</jats:italic>2 layer (<jats:italic>hmF</jats:italic>2), and bottomside thickness (B0) parameter to the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) current is examined for a Peruvian location at the Jicamarca station (12 °S, 76.9 °W) in the South American sector. The results of the analysis show that both <jats:italic>hmF</jats:italic>2 and B0 increase for ~2 h before sunrise and exhibit a postsunset peak during the equinoctial and summer months. The increase in the peak height, <jats:italic>hmF</jats:italic>2, is observed to terminate before midday, while B0 continued to increase throughout the daytime. The apparent midday and postnoon peaks in <jats:italic>NmF</jats:italic>2 occur in all the seasons under study. It was demonstrated that a relationship exists between EEJ and the profile parameters <jats:italic>hmF</jats:italic>2 and B0 during low and moderate solar conditions. Conversely, the correlation coefficient between EEJ and <jats:italic>NmF</jats:italic>2 is statistically significant only during solar minimum conditions but correlates poorly, if at all, with EEJ during moderate solar activity.</jats:p>
