Depending on the neutral wind velocity, v , the functions f 1 and f 2 play a role of
forcing functions/sources for the IAR excitation.
Now we use Eq. ( 5.29 )for‰ in the atmosphere to connect the potential ‰ and
its derivative at the interface z D 0 between the atmosphere and the ionosphere
@ z ‰.0 / D k ? ‰.0/ C k ? tanh .k ? d/
k ? C tanh .k ? d/ ;
(5.124)
where is given by Eq. ( 5.30 ). Here minus in the argument of the function ‰ in
Eq. ( 5.124 ) denotes that the derivative should be taken just below the E-layer.
As is seen from Eqs. ( 5.120 ) and ( 5.121 ), the boundary conditions at z D 0 relate
the jump of values of @ z ‰ and A just above and below the E layer of the ionosphere.
It follows from Eq. ( 5.19 ) that just above E-layer the function @ z ‰ is
@ z ‰.0 C / D ‰.0/ LJ 2 I
L ;
(5.125)
where the function LJ 2 is given in Eq. ( 5.22 ). Notice that the values of ‰.0/ are
the same in both Eq. ( 5.124 ) and Eq. ( 5.125 ) because the function ‰ must be
continuous at z D 0. Subtracting Eq. ( 5.125 )fromEq.( 5.124 ) brings about the jump
of derivative @ z ‰ across the E layer

As we have noted above, the potential A D 0 in the atmosphere, so that the jump
of function A across the E layer equals the value of A just above E-layer, that is
ŒA.0/ D A.0 C /. According to Eqs. ( 5.80 ) and ( 5.18 ), the jump of A is given by
