Impact of disturbance electric fields in the evening on prereversal vertical drift and spread F developments in the equatorial ionosphere

Equatorial plasma bubble/spread F irregularity occurrence can present large variability depending upon the intensity of the evening prereversal enhancement in the zonal electric field (PRE), that is, the F region vertical plasma drift, which basically drives the post-sunset irregularity developm...
