Scientific paper

The seasonal variations in the occurrence of the range type of spread F at two equatorial stations 12 hours apart, Huancayo and Kodaikanal, are described, and these results are discussed in terms of the seasonal variation in the evening reversals of the electric field in these two longitude zones. It is suggested that the range type of equatorial spread F is generated by the action of an eastward electric field in the ionosphere with a large plasma density gradient present after sunset, provided enough time is available for the development of irregularities before the electric field reverses to the nighttime westward direction.
