Short summary
According to plasma drift theory, charged particles will drift when they are subjected to external forces, thus generating a drift current. In this paper, we establish the drift current and magnetic perturbation model in the ionosphere. Based on the HAARP ionospheric background, we analyze the properties of drift current and magnetic perturbation. This work provides guidance for a better understanding of ionospheric current distributions and magnetic perturbations.
