Abstract

The generation of electric fields and currents by local winds in the equatorial electrojet is treated by an equivalent electric circuit method. Apart from its mathematical simplicity, the method provides a full and clear view of the physical processes involved in the generation of currents and electric fields by shearing winds, and thus permits a straightforward interpretation of the main effects of winds. The method is valuable for the theoretical analysis of the wind-related electrodynamics of the equatorial electrojet.
