                         temperature in the nighttime equatorial region were performed by a 
                         rocket experiment launched under solar minimum and geomagnetic 
                         quiet conditions from the station of Alc{\^a}ntara (2.24°S; 
                         44.24°W), Brazil, on Dec. 18, 1995, 21:17 LT. These measurements 
                         detected during the upleg flight a large overheated area around 
                         the base of density profile. The presence of plasma bubbles was 
                         revealed during the downleg phase, as well as temperature 
                         enhancements detected preferentially at altitudes where plasma 
                         depletions are found. It was assumed that the region traversed by 
                         the rocket during the downleg was preceded before the bubble's 
                         onset by a large overheating as observed during the upleg flight. 
                         Analyzing this framework under the light of the Global 
                         Self-Consistent Model of the Thermosphere, Ionosphere and 
                         Protonosphere (GSM TIP), as well as a 2D numerical code that 
                         simulate the growth of an instability and the evolution of thermal 
                         energy inside a bubble, we found that despite an overheated area 
                         in the F-region bottomside can disturb the electron density 
                         profile around the altitude interval where such heat is deposited, 
                         it seems not have a direct influence over parameters responsible 
                         for the bubble onset. Additionally, the phenomenon of the 
                         intra-bubble thermal enhancement could be formed due to the 
                         convection of hot-electron fluid transported from the overheated 
                         region surrounding the base of the F-region to upper altitudes by 
                         the underlying mechanism of bubble generation.",
