Abstract
The analysis of the baloon and rocket measurement data reveals the changes of temperature in the polar and subpolar middle atmosphere with approaching of the magnetopause of the magnetosphere to the Earth. The data of the most observation points show the notable warming of the middle atmosphere in this situation, but there were some stations (“Vostok” in Antarctica and “Frobisher Bay” in Arctic) where the reverse dependence between these parameters was registered. The experimental data show that the total ozone content (TOC) decreases with approaching of the magnetopause to the Earth under both atmosphere warming or cooling at high altitudes. The drop in the TOC values is closely connected to increase of atmospheric electric field magnitude. The obtained results possibly could be explained in framework of the global electric circuit model.
