Popis:	Drift effects play a significant role in the transport of charged particles in the heliosphere. A turbulent magnetic field is also known to reduce the effects of particle drifts. The exact nature of this reduction, however, is not clear. This study aims to provide some insight into this reduction, and proposes a relatively simple, tractable means of modelling it that provides results in reasonable agreement with numerical simulations of the drift coefficient in a turbulent magnetic field.
