Scientific paper

Simultaneous measurements of equatorial ionosphere plasma bubble zonal velocities over Brazilian low latitude sites were obtained using two different techniques, yielding different velocities but similar local time variation patterns. Velocity results from an east-west spaced VHF electronic polarimeter were systematically higher than those from an east-west scan 630-nm airglow photometer. The results suggest the presence of a vertical shear in the zonal plasma over the low latitude observing site.
