The paper reports both dc and ac measurements of equatorial electric fields from the San Marco D satellite. These measurements were performed with double floating probe sensors and have yielded a surprising number of new phenomena and effects in regions of equatorial spread-F. Among the phenomena observed are unexpected large-amplitude Rayleigh-Taylor updrafting velocities in equatorial bubbles.
