Abstract
The conditions of the nighttime increase in NmF2 at the geomagnetic equator are investigated. It is shown that, in an altitude region above 250 km, after 2100 LT, the increase is due to a downward electromagnetic drift when the compression of the plasma associated with the drift overcomes the chemical loss rate.
