Up to this point, we have treated the ionosphere as a thin anisotropic layer. As indicated in Chapter 1, to obtain the integral conductivity expression, we use the three-fluid hydrodynamics model for electron, ion and neutral gases and derive expressions for their specific conductivities. Due to the high conductivity along the external magnetic field B0, the longitudinal electric field vanishes and the transversal electric component is necessarily constant.
