Evidence is presented for multiple processes operating in equatorial spread F, as seen both at intermediate wavelengths and in transitional and short-wavelength data. Drift mode waves are seen as the best candidates for the observed electric field and density fluctuation spectra in the 10-100 m-wavelength range, and an altitude threshold for drift waves was found near 280 km. Evidence also exists for a second, linearly-damped mode which may affect the radar backscatter and in situ spectra at wavelengths between the ion and electron gyroradii. The result of the transition and short-wavelength wave generation appears to be the destruction of the steep gradients generated by a primary process operating at long wavelengths.
