Attempts continue to be made to uncover the source of day-to-day variability in the occurrence of equatorial spread F (ESF). Most have searched for the source (without much success) in parameters usually included in expressions of the linear growth rate of the generalized Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability. The difficulty could be that there is still some missing physics in this description of ESF generation. A possibility could be Hall polarization produced by a perturbation displacement in the altitude of a sporadic-E (Es) layer; the polarization electric field that arises would map to the base of the equatorial F layer, where it could enhance the RT growth rate. Inclusion of a coupled response to the RT instability would seem to introduce enough day-to-day uncertainty into what should otherwise be a close relationship between the post-sunset rise of the F layer and ESF development.
