             abstract = "The ionospheric irregularities associated with spread F were first 
                         observed from the rocket flights 40 years ago. Such in-situ 
                         measurements provides useful information regarding the development 
                         of plasma depletions or bubbles and subsequent generation of small 
                         scale irregularities. These measurements have been used to obtain 
                         the power spectrum of fluctuations associated with the equatorial 
                         spread F. An equatorial station Alcantara (2.31oS, 44.4oW) in 
                         Brazil has a rocket launching facility. From this station, rocket 
                         carrying Langmuir probe was launched on 18th December 1995 at 
                         21:17 LT. The electron density and temperature were measured from 
                         the Langmuir probe. This in-situ measurement identify the 
                         depletions along the trajectory of the rocket. Together with the 
                         density fluctuations, the temperature fluctuations are also 
                         noticed. The simultaneous measurements of density and temperature 
                         provides insight into the energetics of the spread F phenomena. 
                         The two dimensional numerical model is developed to simulate these 
                         fluctuations. The model solves the hydromagnetic equations 
                         (continuity, momentum, energy and Poisson equations) in a plane 
                         perpendicular to the terrestrial magnetic field. The measurements 
                         and numerical results are further discussed to understand the 
                         energetics of the bubble.",
