             abstract = "We present a new technique to infer quiet time zonal electric 
                         fields in the daytime equatorial ionosphere. The electric field 
                         inference technique utilizes a three-dimensional (3-D) 
                         electrostatic potential model of the low-latitude ionosphere 
                         constrained by ground-based magnetic field measurements. To test 
                         this technique, inferred zonal electric fields for the Peruvian 
                         sector in Jicamarca (11.95°S, 283.13°E, 0.6°N dip latitude) were 
                         compared with zonal electric field (vertical drift) measurements 
                         made by the Jicamarca Incoherent Scatter Radar. The comparison 
                         shows a good agreement between the inferred and measured electric 
                         fields. An example of electric field estimation for Davao (7.4°N, 
                         125.4°E, 0.58°S dip latitude) in the Philippines sector is also 
                         presented in this report. Inferred electric fields for Davao are 
                         in good agreement with F region vertical plasma drifts measured by 
                         drift sensors onboard the AE-E and ROCSAT-1 satellites on that 
                         longitude sector. Our results suggest that realistic estimates of 
                         quiet time zonal electric fields for the equatorial ionosphere can 
                         be obtained from the 3-D potential model whenever observatory 
                         magnetic field measurements are available.",
