Using long-term data from Yakut meridional chain of Yakutsk — Zhigansk — Batagay — Tixie ionospheric stations, we study ionospheric signatures of fast subauroral ion drift. Sharp drops or “falls” of critical frequencies (FCF) of the ionospheric F layer are shown to be one of the main signatures of t...
