abstract = "Previous studies based on experimental observations of plasma
bubbles occurrences over the Brazilian region revealed that they
often propagate eastward in the postsunset sector. Optical
observations of the OI630 nm airglow made possible to carry out
the present study based on the observed signatures on the OI630 nm
airglow. From September 2000 to April 2007 at S{\~a}o Jo{\~a}o
do Cariri (7.4ring operatorS; 36.5ring operatorW) 16 events were
found to propagate westward presenting a defined seasonality, six
of them occurring during JuneJulyAugust, seven of them during
SeptemberOctoberNovember, the others three occurring during
MarchAprilMay, and none during DecemberJanuaryFebruary. Ten
observed cases occurred under quiet or weak magnetic periods
showing that the intense magnetic activity is not the only cause
of the westward direction propagation of the plasma bubbles.",
