development can suffer large variability on a day-to-day basis due
to the highly variable dynamic state of the evening ionosphere. An
important cause of the ESF variability lies in the prereversal
enhancement in the F region vertical plasma drift (zonal electric
field), that is subject to large modifications under forcing from
magnetospheric disturbances, when penetrating inter-planetary
electric fields, and disturbance dynamo electric field, cause
large enhancement, or total suppression, of the PRE, and hence of
the ESF development. Additionally the disturbance meridional/
trans-equatorial wind can cause total suppression of the ESF
development independent of the modification of the PRE vertical
drift. Many details regarding the nature of the impact of the
penetration electric fields on the PRE vertical drift and that of
the disturbance winds on ESF growth lack our understanding. In
this paper we have analyzed data on F layer heights and vertical
drifts obtained from Digisondes operated in Brazil, including from
conjugate point observations, to investigate the connection
between magnetic disturbances occurring during and preceding the
sunset hours and the consequent variabilities in the PRE vertical
drift and EPB/ESF development. The impact of the prompt
penetration under-shielding eastward electric field and that of
the over-shielding, and disturbance dynamo, westward electric
field on the evolution of the evening PRE vertical drift, and that
of disturbance meridional/trans-equatorial wind on EPB/ESF
development are briefly examined.",
