Abstract :
Auroral electric field is a probable source of Atmospheric Gravity Waves (AGW) in the thermospheric region of Auroral zone of the ionosphere and associated Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TID). This field is considered to be active through Lorentz force and Joule dissipation that influence the neutral gas of the medium through collision. The process introduces the short-range gravity waves. The expressions for the low frequency part of the fractional pressure variations have been derived within the auroral region of the ionosphere. The results of numerical analyses are presented graphically.
