                         behavior of the ionospheric F-region in the South American sector 
                         during an intense geomagnetic storm in December 2006 (a period of 
                         low solar activity). In this work, ionospheric sounding 
                         observations and GPS data obtained between 13 and 16 December 2006 
                         at several stations in the South American sector are presented. On 
                         the geomagnetically disturbed night of 14 and 15 December, 
                         ionospheric plasma bubbles were observed after an unusual 
                         uplifting of the F-region during pre-reversal enhancement (PRE) 
                         period. The unusual uplifting of the F-region during PRE was 
                         possibly associated with prompt penetration of electric field of 
                         magnetospheric origin. During the geomagnetic disturbance night of 
                         14 and 15 December, strong oscillations due to the propagation of 
                         traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) by the Joule heating in 
                         the auroral region were observed in the F-region at S{\~a}o

                         41.6°S). The VTEC-GPS observations presented on the night of 14 
                         and 15 December 2006 show both positive and negative storm phases 
                         in the South American sector, possibly due to changes in the 
                         large-scale wind circulation and changes in the O/N2 ratio in the 
                         southern hemisphere, respectively.",
