Scientific paper

Some of the characteristic features of thermospheric meridional winds during equinoctial period, associated with equatorial spread F (ESF) and their possible role in the triggering of ESF are presented through case studies of observational events under different geophysical conditions that essentially control the post-sunset F-layer height (/h'F) rise. The present study reveals that the polarity and magnitude of the meridional winds become significant with the equatorward wind being present when the /h'F is below a critical height for the instability to get triggered. The distinctly different characteristic features of the meridional winds during ESF and non-ESF events are presented and discussed.
