A model F2-layer in diffusive equilibrium under the influence of electrodynamic drift is considered. It is shown that there exists a critical inverse scale height such that all equatorial height profiles N0(z) with lead to latitude distributions of N at fixed height having a minimum at the equator. The results are applied to the study of distributions having a Chapman-like height profile at the equator. Experimental results are also used. It appears that below the peak, even small electrodynamic drifts affect the latitude distribution of the layer profoundly. The effect above the peak is less pronounced, and upward drift can, in some cases, lead to the formation of an equatorial maximum in the latitude distribution of N, where there would be a minimum in the absence of drift. The case of downward drift is also briefly considered.
