Abstract

The present experimental evidence for the existence of a streaming of a photoelectron flux between magnetically conjugate hemispheres is reviewed. During local night but sunlit conjugate conditions, significant effects are observed on electron temperature, ionic composition, electron density distribution, the intensity of a weak plasma resonance line, and 6300‐Å airglow emissions, due to the conjugate photoelectron flux. The flux is viewed as important not only in its ionospheric and magnetospheric effects, but also as a tool to probe and study related phenomena.
