Scientific paper

A rocket was launched from Wallops Island, Virginia (37.95° N, 284.53° E, 67.5° dip angle) on October 30, 2007 at 12:12 AM during a midlatitude spread F condition. The spread F was likely associated with geomagnetic activity as indicated by high Kp levels a few hours before the launch. The instruments aboard the rocket measured the neutral wind, electric field and plasma density in the spread F region. These are the first in-situ observations of these fundamental parameters in a midlatitude spread F event. The results show the relationships between neutral winds, plasma drifts, and plasma density. These results will be compared to expectations stemming from various theoretical frameworks for midlatitude spread F.
