Meridional neutral winds and peak electron densities have been derived from ionosonde measurements during the SUNDIAL campaign of 27 May-7 June, 1987. The SUNDIAL 1987 campaign occurred during a relatively undisturbed period near solar minimum. Magnetic conditions were unsettled at the beginning of the campaign. The days in the middle of the campaign interval were magnetically quiet, but were followed by an isolated period of magnetic activity on 6 June. Median values for June, 1987, are used as a basis from which to determine deviations of wind and electron densities from quiet-time conditions during the campaign period. Derived winds and measured peak electron densities are near to the June 1987 median values during two magnetically quiet days on 3 and 4 June. Magnetic activity occurring on 29 May and 6 June provide case studies of the effect of geomagnetic activity on F-region electron density and dynamics. Storm effects are shown to be local-time dependent. In general, equatorward strengthening of the meridional wind and accompanying changes in peak electron density appears to be greatest when the activity occurs near local noon or midnight.
