摘要: In order to understand the evolution of equatorial spread F structures and their dynamics an investigation was carried out with perturbation consisting a single wavelength mode superposition two modes. The revealed that depleted region always moves upward mode, while modes gives rise low-level plasma depletion which downward even when ambient motion is upward, in addition well-developed moving bubbles downdrafting enhancements varying degrees development. Further, scale size corresponding shorter-wavelength possible very small (0.5%) amplitude it rides over long-wavelength large (5%) perturbation. longer-wavelength develops form lower envelope multiple plumes degree depletions ride, separation between decided by short-wavelength subject former being larger comparison latter. rising descending structure along streak as observed Indian Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (VHF) radar can qualitatively be understood on basis interaction growth rates rapidly enhancement followed weakly depending upon wave parameters
