Impact of meridional winds on the development of equatorial plasma bubbles: a review

The impact of meridional winds on the onset and evolution of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) is reviewed. The conventional wisdom had been that transequatorial meridional winds have a stabilizing effect on the development of EPBs during equatorial spread F (ESF). However, this result is based on a...
