Scanning 630-nm airglow angular photometers are used to measure the zonal velocities of ionospheric plasma depletions over Cachoeira Paulista in Brazil during the 1988-1990 time period. A strong tendency for velocity peaks is observed near 21 LT and midnight although the mean trend in the velocity local time variation is a decrease from early evening to postmidnight hours. The velocities and their height gradients are found to show perceivable increases with solar activity represented as sunspot numbers.
