The Equatorial Electrojet: A brief review

Contenido principal del artículo

L. Muniz Barreto

Resumen

Se presenta un breve resumen del descubrimiento del electrochorro ecuatorial (EEJ) y de la importancia de América del Sur en la investigación del EEl. Se discuten algunas cuestiones resueltas y no resueltas sobre el EEJ y el “contraelectrochorro" (CEJ) basado en una descripción de posibles peculiaridades del EEl en Sudamérica. Se resume el trabajo observacional en Brasil y se incluye una versión breve de los programas de investigación del EEl en Brasil y Perú. También se dan los lineamientos de un posible programa de cooperación latinoamericana sobre los efectos del EE] durante el eclipse total de Sol del 11 de julio de 1991.
