abstract = "Several authors have extensively studied the current flows
(eastward during daytime) in the equatorial E-region (~105 km)
named Equatorial Electrojet. It is also well established that
current reversal can be observed and are named Counter Equatorial
Electrojet. Among the driving forces that cause the current
reversal we find magnetic disturbances, but mainly neutral winds
drag due to gravity waves (GW) or tides. In the present work, we
analyze the correlation between the CEJ occurrence and the GW
appearance, which modulates the ionospheric electric field and in
turn modulates the ionospheric current. We analyze the GW
signatures in ionospheric electric fields, inferred from a 50 MHz
coherent backscatter radar data, and in the ionospheric currents,
using magnetometer data; both of the equipments installed at
S{\~a}o Lu{\'{\i}}s, Brazil (2.51 °S, 44.27 °W, mag.
lat.-2.3°).",
