GEOS-2 electric field double probe measurements of equatorial electric fields are compared with ionospheric electric fields derived from irregularity drift measurements by the Scandinavian Twin Auroral Radar Experiment (STARE) radar. Characteristic variations, with time constants of minutes, are correlated with STARE data at different latitudes in order to determine the most likely footprint of the GEOS magnetic field line, and corrected mapping factors are determined for this latitude by comparing the two electric field data sets over a longer, 15- or 30-min period, depending on geophysical conditions. A clear dependence is noted between GEOS-2 magnetic field intensity observations and the mapping factors, in the sense that the latter increase with decreasing magnetic field.
