Context:
Scientists at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) in Navi Mumbai have developed a groundbreaking model called the Indian Equatorial Electrojet (IEEJ) Model. This innovative tool is designed to enhance the accuracy of predictions for the Equatorial Electrojet specifically over the Indian sector. Utilizing data from ground-based magnetometers located at the Tirunelveli station near the southern tip of India, the model facilitates regular measurements of the Equatorial Electrojet.
