Abstract Three experiments were conducted using high frequency capacitance probes carried on board SONDA III rockets launched off the coast of Natal (6° S, 36\dgW), Brasil. Electron-density height profiles from two of the experiments, one daytime, and one nighttime, are representative of quiet equatorial ionospheric conditions whereas for the third experiment the rocket was launched into a nighttime ionosphere that was disturbed by a developing plasma hubble event. Agreement between experimental results and the IRI predictions for the quiet day and night densities varies with height. Comparisons are also made with electron densities obtained from the semi-empirical Low Latitude Ionospheric Model (SLIM).
