Vertical drift velocities and east-west electric fields at the magnetic equator
Abstract
Incoherent scatter observations of vertical drifts taken at Jicamarca (2° dip) are presented. Vertical drifts are found to be nearly constant as a function of height. These vertical drifts can also be taken as a direct measurement of the east-west electric fields at the magnetic equator. Their daily and seasonal behavior is presented. The effect of geomagnetic activity is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
