On seeding equatorial spread F during solstices

Interpretation of the morphology of equatorial spread F (ESF) is usually given in terms of factors that modulate the growth rate of the Rayleigh‐Taylor instability. That interpretation is, however, incomplete because only one means for growth‐rate enhancement has been included; that is, the strength...
