The possibility that zonal and meridional winds, independent of longitude, will produce ionospheric current systems is investigated. To treat the problem mathematically, a model ionosphere is used, divided into an equatorial region with horizontal magnetic field and northerly and southerly regions with vertical magnetic field. The ionization is schematically assumed to be zero at the night side and constant at the sunlit side of the earth. It appears that certain zonal or meridional wind distributions, if existent, would be almost as effective as the periodic wind systems in producing an Sq-like current vortex. Observed ionospheric winds of non-periodic character are strong enough to warrant the conclusion that they will affect the current system of the daily variation appreciably.
