%X In an effort to better understand the dynamics of westward velocities of the nocturnal F-region plasma, the climatology of the westward traveling plasma bubbles - WTB - occurring during quiettime is studied here. The climatology of the WFB is analyzed here based on airglow images obtained during 14 quiet days between 2001 and 2006 at the Brazilian station Sao Joao do Cariri (Geographic 7.45 degrees S, 36.5 degrees W, dip similar to 20 degrees S). The frequency of occurrence of the WTB maximizes in the descending phase of the solar cycle. The WTB velocities ranged between similar to 20 and 40 ms(-1). The frequency of occurrence had a peak value of only 3.65% at 2345 LT. The maximum occurrence of the WTB was in July-September. No WTB have been observed from November until April in all years 2001-2006. We show for the first time theoretically that the WTB dominant forcing mechanisms during geomagnetically quiet days are westward thermospheric winds.
