| Popis: | The currents flowing between the Earth and ionosphere are numerically calculated. We solve the current continuity equation by two methods: the first method is to solve ϕ in ∇ ⋅ J = ∇ ⋅ (σ∇ϕ) = 0[Kuo et al., 2011] where σ is atmospheric conductivity and ϕ is the electric potential, and the second method is to solve the current potential Ψ in ∇ ⋅ J = − ∇2Ψ = 0by assuming J = − ∇Ψ, a curl-free current density [Kuo et al., 2014]. Two solutions of ∇ ⋅ J = 0for current flow in the atmosphere between Earth surface and ionosphere are compared in this reply. The differences of two results are |
