The nighttime reversals can only be detected by such radar measurements. The observations support most of the current hypotheses concerning the electrojet plasma instabilities. The rapid reversals sometimes seen during disturbed conditions indicate that high‐latitude currents and electric fields associated with substorm activity strongly perturb the dynamo current system at all latitudes.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessIonosphereIncoherent Scattering RadarF RegionE RegionElectric FieldsEquatorial ElectrojetRadar studies of anomalous velocity reversals in the equatorial ionosphereinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.01Journal de Geophysical Researchhttps://doi.org/10.1029/JA081i025p04621
