                         have been used to monitor the meridional (north-south) development 
                         of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) at geomagnetically conjugate 
                         points over the Brazilian sector. EPBs were studied using 
                         detrended total electron content plots obtained from Boa Vista 
                         (MLat: 9.6°N), Itacoatiara (MLat: 3.3°N), Col{\'{\i}}der (MLat: 
                         5.0°S), and Cuiab{\'a} (MLat: 8.8°S) GNSS receivers. All GNSS 
                         receivers are located approximately under the same magnetic 
                         meridian. 655 nights with EPBs occurrence were analyzed using data 
                         from January 2012 to February 2016. In 459 nights (\∼70%) 
                         the EPBs presented a symmetric development with respect to the 
                         geomagnetic equator. However, in 196 nights (\∼30%) the 
                         EPBs presented an apparent asymmetry. The asymmetries are 
                         characterized as a displacement of the EPBs to north (or south) of 
                         the geomagnetic equator. The highest north (south) asymmetry 
                         occurrence was observed during December to January (March to April 
                         and September to October), and lowest during March to April and 
                         August to September (December to January). To investigate these 
                         asymmetries, we analyzed meridional wind data and used a numerical 
                         model to simulate the EPBs evolution. Both meridional wind data 
                         and numerical simulation results suggested that a trans-equatorial 
                         meridional wind blowing to north (south) would be able to cause a 
                         displacement of the EPBs to north (south) of the geomagnetic 
                         equator.",
