                         equatorial-low latitude ionosphere can drastically affect a large 
                         number of technological devices that are present in modern life. 
                         The basic physics of the plasma bubble and irregularities is 
                         relatively well known but there are some aspects related to their 
                         day-to-day variability that are not completely resolved. In this 
                         sense numerical models allow a detailed evaluation of the 
                         influence of distinct physical parameters on the plasma bubble 
                         generation and evolution. We have developed a model for plasma 
                         bubble studies that solves the differential equations for the 
                         electric potential and for ion density, as well as the motion 
                         equations for electrons and ions, in a three dimensional frame 
                         (latitude, longitude and height). This model is used to 
                         investigate the time evolution of the plasma bubbles. In order to 
                         test the validity of the model for the Brazilian region the input 
                         parameters are derived from observations. The numerical model 
                         results were used to derive the emission rate in 135.6 nm. The 
                         results displayed in a latitude versus longitude plane show a 
                         reversed-C shape, similar to the observational results from Kil et 
                         al. (JGR, 2009). The possible explanations for this peculiar 
                         behavior are discussed in this work.",
