An intense electric current which occurs in a narrow belt in the lower ionosphere, especially in the region of strong auroral displays.
（大气电离层中的）电喷流
Example sentencesExamples
When space weather stirs up the great electric current in the sky - the auroral electrojet - the magnetic field at the surface of the Earth starts to vary.
The HAARP antenna as is it now configured modulates the auroral electrojet to induce ELF waves and thus could have an effect on the zonal winds.
The auroral electrojet index, which measures the strength of the magnetic disturbances produced by currents in the ionosphere (associated with auroras), reached peak values of more than 2,000 nanoTesla.
Electrojets are Hall currents carried primarily by electrons at altitudes from 100 to 150 km.
This auroral electrojet these authors detected was unusually rapid, associated with velocities of ~3km/s.
