AbstractAbstract
[en] The spacial distributions of components of the conductivity tensor of the polar ionosphere are studied. The investigation is based on the data of the spectral characteristics of auroral electrons obtained with the help of the ISIS-2 satellite. It is shown that at the height of 100 km, in three extensive areas of the higher conductivity, the values of the local cross and Hall conductivities differ by 1-1.5 orders. At the height of 120 km the Hall conductivity exceeds the Pedersen conductivity 2-3 times while at the height of approximately 150 km its quick extinction is observed. The values of the local cross conductivity are diminishing but slowly with the increase of the height. The ratio of the integral Hall and cross conductivities as affected by the thickness of the current layer changes from 1.5 to 40. The model based on the satellite data differs from models based on ground data because it furnishes the more detailed picture of the spacial distribution of energetic characteristics of auroral electrons
