Abstract :In this study, the relationship between the classical diffusion tensor (D  D  D  for steady-state case) and the equatorial anomaly is investigated by taking the geometry of Earth’s magnetic field as B =B 0 z for both solstices of these two different latitudes ionospheric plasma. Examination is made for the altitudes (280,300,340,390 and 410 km) where the observations are predominantly referenced to the equatorial anomaly.  It is seen that calculated value at 12.00 LT is greater than 24.00 LT in both solstice seasons. This means that no anomaly is observed in the classical diffusion coefficient for the electron density at night. It is seen that all values are higher at 12:00 LT than the values at 24:00 LT for both solstices. This means that the classical diffusion coefficient relates with the night anomaly which is observed with the electron density.                 Seasonal (winter) anomaly in the equatorial region (-10 0 S, -15 0 N) corresponds to 390 and 410 Km for D 0 , 280, 300 and 340 Km for D 1 and similar condition to the seasonal anomaly for all altitudes for D 2 (the measured values at 1221 are higher than the measured values at 621) at 12:00 LT. D 0 and D 2 values show seasonal anomaly for all altitudes while D 1 does not show any values for any altitudes at 24:00 LT. and dynamo effect.
