Abstract

With the increase of the southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field, the magnitude of the east-west drift speed in the F-region of the ionosphere at Thumba, close to the magnetic equator, decreases for the daytime as well as for the nighttime periods. This is interpreted to be due to the decrease of the equatorial east-west electrostatic field with the increasing southward component of interplanetary magnetic field.
