Satellite (e.g., Cosmos-184, OGO-6, and AE-C) measurements of convection and electric fields in the magnetosphere as well as Chatanika incoherent-scatter data indicate the presence of a narrow zone of very fast ion drift toward the west in the subauroral region during substorms. Variations in the electron density distribution in the lower F-region in the fast-drift zone are analyzed; a quantitative density model is obtained; and this model is used to calculate model ionograms, close to those obseved at a subauroral ionospheric station situated near the fast drift zone. A comparison of theoretical and experimental ionograms makes it possible to identify cases of the appearance of a fast drift zone (a polarization jet) near a station, and to identify the distance to this zone according to the ionograms.
