Overview and summary of the Spread F Experiment (SpreadFEx) We provide here an overview of, and a summary of results arising from, an extensive experimental campaign (the Spread F Experiment, or SpreadFEx) performed from September to November 2005, with primary measurements in Brazil. The motivation was to define the potential role of neutral atmosphere dynamics, specifically gravity wave motions propagating upward from the lower atmosphere, in seeding Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) and plasma bubbles extending to higher altitudes. Campaign measurements focused on the Brazilian sector and included ground-based optical, radar, digisonde, and GPS measurements at a number of fixed and temporary sites. Related data on convection and plasma bubble structures were also collected by GOES 12, and the GUVI instrument aboard the TIMED satellite.\ Fritts, D.; Abdu, M.; Batista, B.; Batista, I.; Batista, P.; Buriti, R.; Clemesha, B.; Dautermann, T.; de Paula, E.; Fechine, B.; Fejer, B.; Gobbi, D.; Haase, J.; Kamalabadi, F.; Kherani, E.; Laughman, B.; Lima, P.; Liu, H.-L.; Medeiros, A.; Pautet, P.-D.; Riggin, D.; Rodrigues, F.; Sabbas, F.; Sobral, J.; Stamus, P.; Takahashi, H.; Taylor, M.; Vadas, S.; Vargas, F.; Wrasse, C.; Published by: Annales Geophysicae Published on: Jan-01-2009 YEAR: 2009   DOI: 10.5194/angeo-27-2141-2009 |

The Spread F Experiment, or SpreadFEx, was performed from September to November 2005 to define the potential role of neutral atmosphere dynamics, primarily gravity waves propagating upward from the lower atmosphere, in seeding equatorial spread F (ESF) and plasma bubbles extending to higher altitudes. A description of the SpreadFEx campaign motivations, goals, instrumentation, and structure, and an overview of the results presented in this special issue, are provided by Fritts et al. (2008a). The various analyses of neutral atmosphere and ionosphere dynamics and structure described in this special issue provide enticing evidence of gravity waves arising from deep convection in plasma bubble seeding at the bottomside F layer. Our purpose here is to employ these results to estimate gravity wave characteristics at the bottomside F layer, and to assess their possible contributions to optimal seeding conditions for ESF and plasma instability growth rates. We also assess expected tidal influences on the environment in which plasma bubble seeding occurs, given their apparent large wind and temperature amplitudes at these altitudes. We conclude 1) that gravity waves can achieve large amplitudes at the bottomside F layer, 2) that tidal winds likely control the orientations of the gravity waves that attain the highest altitudes and have the greatest effects, 3) that the favored gravity wave orientations enhance most or all of the parameters influencing plasma instability growth rates, and 4) that gravity wave and tidal structures acting together have an even greater potential impact on plasma instability growth rates and plasma bubble seeding.

During the SpreadFEx campaign from September 22 to November 8, 2005, two airglow CCD imagers, located at near Brasilia (14.8S, 47.6W, Mag. 10S) and at Cariri (7.4S, 36.5W, Mag. 9S) were operated simultaneously and measured the equatorial ionospheric bubble structures and their time evolution by monitoring the OI 6300 emission. From the 10 nights of coincident data, we observed that on some nights the bubbles was formed at the west of Cariri, but not seen from the Brasilia site. This suggests that the bubble formation and development started near the Cariri observation site. Identification of a longitudinal zone where the SpF is seeding is very important in order to find the mechanism of formation. The present paper will discuss SpF seeding mechanisms and possible contribution of the mesospheric gravity wave activity.
