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.
