The paper studies the general propagation properties of ionospheric irregularities in an appropriate two-dimensional electrojet model including meridional currents and altitude dependence. The motion of electrons and ions is solved in an ambipolar approximation and is shown to depend principally on a polarization function. Although an exact analytical solution is not obtained, its major features are described. The propagation properties of ionospheric irregularities in such an electrojet are studied based on a theory including wave vectors with a component parallel to the magnetic field. It is concluded that both the two-stream and the gradient drift irregularities in the equatorial jet are essentially of convective nature and that the convective nature of the waves should be included in future nonlinear theories of electrojet irregularities.
