Field-aligned and field-perpendicular velocities in the ionospheric F2-layerThe correlation between variations in the components of the ionospheric F2-layer parallel and perpendicular to the geomagnetic field is theoretically examined. The servo model of Rishbath (1967) is used as a basis for further calculations. The equations involved are presented in full and results are given for various assumed conditions. The response of the model to both steplike and periodic perturbations of the perpendicular component is considered along with the effects of winds and the Coriolis force. Arecibo and Malvern data are reviewed on the basis of theoretically predicted behavior.
