                         studied simultaneously using the L-band frequencies of the Global 
                         Positioning System (GPS) satellites. These three geophysical 
                         parameters measured by ground-based GPS receivers during the last 
                         solar maximum years (2000/2001) were collected over eleven 
                         stations located in the Brazilian equatorial and low-latitude 
                         regions. The observations were carried out during the months of 
                         high occurrence in the ionospheric irregularities 
                         (August/2000-March/2001). The zonal plasma velocities were 
                         inferred using the spaced-receivers scintillation data technique. 
                         Simultaneous measurements of scintillation, TEC and zonal plasma 
                         flows at different sites are intended to investigate specific 
                         relationships between the space physic quantities measured by GPS 
                         receivers. Besides to allow a better understanding of the 
                         ionospheric irregularities behavior and dynamics for different 
                         local hours, latitudes and for different ionospheric conditions, 
                         this study is intended to give a contribution to the development 
                         of an efficient tool for processing TEC, scintillation, and 
                         ionospheric drifts over the Brazilian sector.",
