Abstract
(1) IntroductionIn a letter to Nature [see 1 of “References” at end of paper], the writer has already put forward the suggestion that magnetic storms accompanied by a large reduction in the density of the F‐layer are caused by neutral streams of charged particles that enter the Earth's atmosphere and are separated out in the ionosphere owing to deeper penetration by the positive particles. According to this idea, the electrons are stopped high up in the F‐layer, while the positive ions penetrate to the E‐layer, with the result that a strong vertical electric field is set up in the main body of the F‐layer between these two systems of negative and positive charges.
