The results of the horizontal drift measurements at Thumba (0.6°S dip), a station situated at the magnetic equator, are studied in relation to the equatorial electrojet currents estimated from the variations of H component of the geomagnetic field. The daily, seasonal, and latitudinal variations of drift show a close similarity between the drift and electrojet. Even the short-time variations such as day to day differences or temporary changes lasting only a few hours in the magnetic field have corresponding effects on the drift parameters. It is concluded that the drift measurements near the equator indicate the electron movements and are a good index of the ionospheric currents.
