A seasonal study of f(o)F2 data of two Pakistani ionospheric stations viz: Karachi (24.95 deg N, 67.14 deg E) and Islamabad (33.75 deg N, 72.87 deg E) for the period from March 1982 to February 1983 shows that the percentage occurrence of the fore-noon and post-noon bite-outs travelling from a higher latitude (33.75 deg N) to a lower one (24.95 deg N) is maximum in winter and minimum in summer. A reversed seasonal trend is observed for the bite-outs which travelled from lower to higher latitudes. The propagation of fore-noon and post-noon bite-outs from higher to lower latitudes and vice versa gives a clue that the possibility of their production by E bar x B bar drift may be ruled out and that a plausible cause of the bite-outs may be meridional winds (equatorward/poleward winds).
