On the response of ionospheric electrojets to solar wind discontinuities

We investigate the ionospheric response to solar wind discontinuities as detected by the <I>IE</I> index computed from IMAGE ground magnetometers. The solar wind discontinuities include both sudden increases as well as decreases of the solar wind dynamic pressure, recorded by the SWEP...
