                         Project from a low latitude station on Hainan Island (19.5°N, 
                         109.1°E), China, measured the DC electric field during 05:4505:52 
                         LT on April 5, 2013. The data observed using a set of electric 
                         field double probes, as part of the rockets scientific payload, 
                         revealed the special profile of how the vectors of the DC electric 
                         field vary with altitude between 130 and 190 km. During the 
                         experiment, the vertical electric field was downward, and the 
                         maximum vertical electric field was nearly 5.1 mV/m near the 
                         altitude of 176 km. The zonal electric field was eastward and 
                         slightly less than 0.6 mV/m. The plasma drift velocity was 
                         estimated from the E×B motion, and the zonal drift velocity was 
                         eastward and of the order of 100 m/s. The zonal wind velocity was 
                         also estimated using the drift velocity near the maximum density 
                         height in the F1-region, and it was found to be nearly 120 m/s. 
                         This work constituted the first in situ measurement of the DC 
                         electric field conducted within the F1-region (between 130 and 190 
                         km) in the East Asian Sector.",
