abstract = "The ionosphere over Brazilian sector presents peculiar features
due to several factors, among them, the geomagnetic
characteristics, action of neutral winds, disturbance dynamos, and
the occurrence of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPB). These EPBs are
large structures of depleted plasma which decay into successive
smaller ones under a cascade process, giving rise to Fresnel
structures of the 100-300 m order. Such structures impose
scintillations on the satellite signals, degrading the information
contained within them, and, in most intense events, the loss of
lock of the satellite, when the power on the receiver is too low.
The present study intends to analyze the drift of the Fresnel
structures over Cachoeira Paulista station with emphasis on the
geomagnetic westward velocity observation, once the usual
direction is the eastward (geomagnetic) one. The period of study
comprises the October 2023 March 2024 interval, and it is present
two possible explanations for the observed phenomenon.",
