Using simultaneous observations of VHF radio wave scintillations from two closely spaced satellites, SIRIO at 65 deg E, (transmitting on 136 MHz) and FLEETSAT at 73 deg E (transmitting on 244 MHz), the characteristic properties of the ionospheric irregularities over a tropical station, Bombay have been deduced. It has been shown that usual E-W patch size observed at this latitude is of the order of 200-400 km, and these irregularity patches drift from West to East with a drift speed of about 170 m/s around 2100 h which decreases in the course of night to about 60 m/s by 0500 h. Drift speeds at any time of the night are lower on magnetically disturbed than on quiet days.
