Enhance ionospheric electric field and current observations to better understand the E-region electrodynamics
Utilizing multi-point and multi-platform observations such as those from the planned GDC and DYNAMIC missions and the ground-based magnetometer network that include the electric current variations will advance our understanding of the ionospheric E-region electrodynamics.
