Ionospheric E x B convections are measured by a new technique that uses satellite scintillations. The measurements are for an ionospheric region centered on 39 deg N, 82 deg W geographic or 53 deg invariant latitude. Results are presented for spring equinox 1980. The quiet condition eastward convection drift is approximately -12 + 43 cos (2 pi/24)(t - 13.4). During disturbed conditions at nighttime, the westward convection becomes large and highly variable. The northward perpendicular E x B convection is approximately -5 + 13 cos (2pi/12)(t - 10.5) + 6 cos (2pi/24)(t - 11.5) m/sec during quiet conditions. During disturbed conditions the semidiurnal component of the northward convection increases by about a factor of 3 and becomes larger than the diurnal.
