A model to calculate electron densities and electrical conductivities in the ionospheric E-region at low latitudes has been developed. Calculations have been performed under photochemical equilibrium and including plasma transport due to the electric field and neutral winds. Results have been compared with observations at Arecibo (18.15 deg N, 66.20 deg W), Thumba (8 deg 32 min N, 76 deg 51 min E) and SHAR (14.0 deg N, 80.0 deg E). Good agreement is obtained for Arecibo. For Thumba and SHAR agreement is satisfactory for altitudes above 110 km. Below 100 km, model predictions are too low in comparison with the observed data. The effect of plasma transport on electron densities and Hall and Pedersen conductivities is investigated in detail.
