Scientific paper

A NUMBER of authors1-3 have shown that near the magnetic equator ionospheric drifts occur, in both the E and F regions, which are mainly westwards by day and mainly eastwards by night. Results for F region drifts at Ibadan have been given by Skinner, Lyon and Wright1 for the International Geophysical Year (IGY) (1957-58). These show that for quiet days during equinox periods at sunspot maximum, the median velocity of drift reached a value of about 100 m/sec eastwards at midnight and a value of about 76 m/sec westwards at noon. The changes in direction occurred rather rapidly at about 0700 in the morning and at about 2000 in the evening.
