Impact of sudden stratospheric warmings on equatorial ionization anomaly [PDF]
We investigate the ionospheric response to several stratospheric sudden warming events which occurred in Northern Hemisphere winters of 2008 and 2009 during solar minimum conditions. We use GPS total electron content data in a broad latitudinal region at ±40° geographic latitude and a single longitude, 75°W.

Ionospheric irregularities: The role of the equatorial ionization anomaly [PDF]
The availability of similar ionosondes at four locations in India covering the regions from the equator to the northern crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) has provided a unique opportunity to study the role of the EIA and related processes in the occurrence of spread F.

Analysis of Ionospheric Anomalies before the Tonga Volcanic Eruption on 15 January 2022
In this paper, GNSS stations’ observational data, global ionospheric maps (GIM) and the electron density of FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 occultation are used to study ionospheric anomalies before the submarine volcanic eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai on 15 ...

On the relationship between the postmidnight thermospheric equatorial mass anomaly and equatorial ionization anomaly under geomagnetic quiet conditions [PDF]
The equatorial mass anomaly (EMA) in the thermosphere and equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) in the ionosphere are two interesting phenomena in low-equatorial latitude regions. Previous studies have shown that the EMA appears between 1000 and 2000 local time (LT) and its location of trough is aligned with dip equator, indicating the plausible role of ...

Equatorial westward electrojet impacting equatorial ionization anomaly development during the 6 April 2000 superstorm [PDF]
AbstractWe investigate the forward plasma fountain and the equatorial ionosphere in the topside region during the 6 April 2000 superstorm in the Australian sector at ~0900 LT. Space‐ and ground‐based multi‐instrument measurements, Coupled Thermosphere‐Ionosphere‐Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (CTIPe) simulations, and field‐aligned observations comprise ...

Plasma irregularity in the equatorial and low-latitude ionosphere, which leads to ionospheric scintillation, can threaten the operation of radio-based communication and navigation systems. A method for forecasting scintillation activity is still pending.
