Description

A mechanism is proposed for the generation of a vortex electric field in the ionospheric E-region. It is shown that long-scale (with a wavelength of L > 103 km) synoptically short-period (from several minutes to several hours) fast (with a propagation velocity higher than 1 km/s) processes excite a vortex electric field that may be much higher than the dynamo field generated in this region by ionospheric winds
