Method for calculating equivalent ionospheric currents according to meridional-chain magnetic data
Abstract
The paper describes a method based on the Biot-Savard/Laplace law for investigating ionospheric currents according to meridional-chain magnetic data. The inverse ill-posed problem which results is solved by the Tikhonov regularization method. The method is tested; its reliability is evaluated; and it is verified on actual data.
