Using experiments by Sanya (18.3°N, 109.6°E) Incoherent Scatter Radar (SYISR) during 22 days, we first obtained the line‐of‐sight ion velocity in multiple directions, further calculated three‐dimensional vector velocity through least squares fitting, and subsequently derived northward neutral wind and electric fields from 150 to 500 km based on the momentum equation. In order to verify the reliability of the derived northward neutral wind and electric field, we used NCAR‐TIEGCM and HWM for comparative analysis. They had a good consistency in terms of diurnal variation and direction. The SYISR vertical ExB velocity during the daytime is larger than that of TIEGCM, and the direction reverses occur after 20:00 for both TIEGCM and SYISR. We further compared our wind data with that of ICON satellite. They showed a positive correlation of ∼0.62. We also used the ∆H method to verify our eastward electric field. They showed a roughly linear dependency, although the correlation coefficient is not very high. Plain Language Summary: In the low latitude ionosphere, neutral wind drives ions moving across the geomagnetic field line and generates electric field. Therefore, neutral wind and electric field are two key drivers in low latitude ionospheric dynamics. Monitoring both parameters is important for low latitude ionosphere investigation. However, measuring neutral wind and electric field, especially height profile in the F region, is very challenging and rare. In this paper, using the newly built Sanya Incoherent Scatter Radar, we have developed sophisticated algorithm to derive neutral wind and electric field from multiple beams SYISR measurements. Further evaluations show the data is reliable and therefore useful. Key Points: Northward neutral wind and electric field from 150 to 500 km are obtained using 22 days continuously SYISR observationsThe derived northward neutral wind and electric field are in good agreement with well‐known modelsThe results are further independently evaluated by ICON satellite and geomagnetism data [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
