Eastward drifts predominated in the morning sector (0600-0930 MLT) on February 8,1986,with speeds ranging from 1.0 to 3.8km/s. These drift velocities are considerably greater than those (60-700m/s) obtained under a moderately disturbed condition reported by T. KIKUCHI et al. (Ann. Geophys., 8,431,1990) while the drift direction was the same for both cases. The eastward drift takes place with a decrease in the geomagnetic H-component, with its speed being proportional to the H-component deflection from the quiettime level. It is suggested that both the absorption drift and ionospheric currents are subjected to a common earthward electric field in the magnetosphere. Therefore, the high drift velocity may indicate an intensification of the electric field in the magnetosphere.}, pages = {12--23}, title = {Drift of auroral absorption observed in February 1986 with the scanning beam riometer at Syowa Station}, volume = {3}, year = {1990} }
