Abstract

In the E layer of equatorial ionosphere, the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) current interacts with the global Sq current and caused abnormally large amplitude of geomagnetic field component measured at the magnetic dip equator station. In this study, we attempted to separate EEJ and Sq at dip equator using the EUEL index derived from MAGDAS/CPMN stations. Moreover, we normalized the observation data to overcome the uncertainties due to the latitudinal variation of both EEJ and Sq currents which are neglected in most of previous studies. This new approach allowed the study of longitudinal dependence of EEJ. Analysis is performed using data from stations at East and West of Southeast Asian sector for a year of 2011. Additionally, we examined the solar activity dependence of EEJ during this inclining phase of solar cycle.
