A t the magnetic dip equator, the resulting upward E x B drift moves negative charge at the top and a positive at the bottom of the E-region.
The resulting E-field prevents electrons to be drifted further upward, instead, they are propelled westward by the eastward E-field. This forms an eastward electr ic current flow within 3.0º of the magnetic equator, which is called the Equatorial E lectrojet (E EJ)

Such ground-based magnetometer distribution will allow us to understand the physics behind the longitudinal variation of the E EJ and thus ionospheric ir regularities.

The tomographically inverted density is important to monitor the day-to-day variability of the density at different altitudes, as well as for validation of the in-situ density observations onboard L E O satellites.
Conclusion The magnitude and direction of the vertical drift shows significant difference at different longitudinal sectors. The ionospheric density also responded differently at different longitudinal sectors, lower density in the east A frican sector than west American sector.
