- Purpose:
-
The purpose of the ExB Drift project is to demonstrate that realistic, daytime, vertical
ExB drift velocities can be obtained in the equatorial F-region using two ground-based
magnetometers, one on the magnetic equator and the other 7 to 10 degrees away in dip
latitude. The code provides daytime ExB drift velocities in the Peruvian longitude sector
when the difference in the Horizontal H component,
 H is supplied by the ground-based
magnetometers in Jicamarca (1 degree N dip latitude) and Piura (7 degrees N dip latitude),
Peru.
- Input:
-
- llions.set
- DOY.drifts
- piuDDMMM.YYm
- jicDDMMM.YYm
(where DOY = day of year, MMM = month, DD = day of month, and YY = year)
- Output:
-
The output of the ExB Drift process is an ASCII file containing drfit values for every
5 minutes. There are 5 columns and 289 rows. The 5 columns are:
- local time
- ExB drift value
- -9999 (Default value for the theoretical Ionospheric Forecast Model.)
- 0 (Default value for the theoretical Ionospheric Forecast Model.)
- -9999 (Default value for the theoretical Ionospheric Forecast Model.)
