The possible depletion of plasma bubbles associated with the equatorial spread-F phenomenon was examined in terms of plumes mapped with the ALTAIR radar and bubbles measured by ion-drift meter on board the Explorer E satellite. The meter measured the east-west spatial relationship of ion-density depletions. The plasma bubbles were found to be vertically elongated depletions extending downward from the bottom side of the F layer in the form of tilted wedges. The electrodynamics of the bubbles correspond with observations of large eastward drift velocities of plumes comparable to the F region drift measurements. It was also determined that the west wall of large scale altitude modulations of the bottomside F layer becomes structured and evolves with the generation of secondary plumes and bubbles.
