                         plasma bubbles which were observed by emission of OI 630.0 nm 
                         airglow, using ground-based (all-sky images) and DMSP-F15 
                         satellite data on 23 February 2007, over a low latitude station 
                         S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos (SJC) (23.21°S, 45.86°W; dip 
                         latitude 18.3°S) in the Brazilian sector. We calculated the zonal 
                         drift velocities of the plasma bubble and plasma blobs, and the 
                         longitudinal drift of the blobs that occurred that night using the 
                         linearization method presented by Pimenta et al. (2001). The 
                         north/south and east/west extensions of plasma blobs have also 
                         been estimated. The mean velocity of the plasma bubble is found to 
                         be 74 ± 8 m/s and the plasma blob zonal drift is 61 ± 6 m/s. The 
                         average velocity of the longitudinal drift of the plasma blob was 
                         85 ± 13 m/s and the analyzed blobs had the mean north/south 
                         extension of 591 km and east/west extension of 328 and 263 km.",
