Scientific paper

Sudden bursts of plasma velocity, including an equatorward component, are often observed by EISCAT in the evening and midnight sectors. Typically, these bursts last for about 3-7 min, and are repeated in a quasi-periodic sequence. Quasi-periodic equatorward bursts are also observed by the SABRE coherent-scatter radar, and these measurements confirm that the pattern can extend over several degrees of latitude and at least 10 deg of longitude.
