abstract = "An all-sky (180 degree)imaging system for observations of the OI
630 mn nightglow emission is in routine operation at Cachoeira
Paulista (22.7 degree S, 45.0 degree W; 16 degree S dip latitude),
Brazil. This technique permits observations covering a large area,
extending from the equatorial region to nearly mid-latitude from
this observational site. During February 1995, a relatively good
sequence of observations on six consecutive nights were obtained.
On five out of the six nights, weak to strong nearly north-south
aligned intensity depleted regions, which are the optical
signatures of large-scale field-aligned equatorial F-region plasma
depletions, were observed. Important features from this set of
observations, including vertical and zonal velocities of the
plasma bubbles, are presented and discussed in this paper.",
