The Morphology of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles – a review [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2015 Plasma bubbles that occur in the equatorial F-region make up one of the most distinguishing phenomena in the ionosphere. Bubbles represent plasma depletions with respect to the background ionosphere, and are the major source of electron density ...

Effect of magnetic activity on plasma bubbles over equatorial and low-latitude regions in East Asia [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 The dependence of plasma bubble occurrence in the eveningside ionosphere, with magnetic activity during the period years 2001–2004, is studied here based on the TEC observations gathered by ground-based GPS receivers which are located in the ...

Generation of enigmatic equatorial ionospheric plasma blobs during the 17 March 2015 super geomagnetic storm period over the Indian region [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn general, during geomagnetic storm times, equatorial ionospheric plasma bubbles (equivalently plasma depletions) will be generated due to the effect of prompt penetration of magnetosphere-associated disturbed electric fields to the magnetic equatorial ...

Seasonal-longitudinal variability of equatorial plasma bubbles [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2004 We compare seasonal and longitudinal distributions of more than 8300 equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) observed during a full solar cycle from 1989-2000 with predictions of two simple models.

The combined effects of electrojet strength and the geomagnetic activity (Kp-index) on the post sunset height rise of the F-layer and its role in the generation of ESF during high and low solar activity periods [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 Several investigations have been carried out to identify the factors that are responsible for the day-to-day variability in the occurrence of equatorial spread-F (ESF). But the precise forecasting of ESF on a day-to-day basis is still far from reality.
