Measurements of zonal irregularity drifts were made by the space receiver scintillation and radar interferometer techniques from Huancayo and Jicamarca, respectively. The Fabry-Perot Interferometer operated at Arequipa provided the zonal neutral winds. These simultaneous measurements were performed during evening hours in the presence of equatorial spread-F on three nights in October 1988. The zonal drift of 3-m irregularities obtained with the 50-MHz radar showed considerable variation as a function of altitude. The drift of hundreds of m-scale irregularities obtained by the scintillation technique agreed with the drift of 3-m irregularities when the latter were measured near the F-peak. The neutral winds, on the other hand, sometimes exceeded the irregularity drifts by a factor of two. This is a possible result of the partial reduction of the vertical polarization electric field in the F-region caused by the effects of integrated Pedersen conductivity of the off-equatorial night-time F-region coupled to the F-region at high altitudes above the magnetic equator.
