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 ...

Impact of meridional winds on the development of equatorial plasma bubbles: a review
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesThe impact of meridional winds on the onset and evolution of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) is reviewed. The conventional wisdom had been that transequatorial meridional winds have a stabilizing effect on the development of EPBs during equatorial ...

Occurrence climatology of equatorial plasma bubbles derived using FormoSat-3 ∕ COSMIC GPS radio occultation data [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2020 The Global Positioning System – Radio Occultation (GPS-RO) observations from FormoSat-3 ∕ COSMIC are used to comprehend the global distribution of equatorial plasma bubbles which are characterized by depletion regions of plasma in the F ...

Zonal velocity of the equatorial plasma bubbles over Kolhapur, India [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2013 This paper presents the observations of zonal drift velocities of equatorial ionospheric plasma bubbles and their comparison with model values. These velocities are determined by nightglow OI 630.0 nm images.

Semimonthly oscillation observed in the start times of equatorial plasma bubbles [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2020 Using airglow data from an all-sky imager deployed at São João do Cariri (7.4∘ S, 36.5∘ W), the start times of equatorial plasma bubbles was studied in order to investigate the day-to-day variability of this phenomenon.

Ionospheric Turbulence and the Equatorial Plasma Density Irregularities: Scaling Features and RODI
Remote Sensing, 2021 In the framework of space weather, the understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for the generation of ionospheric irregularities is particularly relevant for their effects on global positioning and communication systems.

Equatorial Plasma Bubbles: A Review
Atmosphere, 2022 The equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) phenomenon is an important component of space weather as the ionospheric irregularities that develop within EPBs can have major detrimental effects on the operation of satellite-based communication and navigation ...

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 ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 A wide variety of small-amplitude waves widely exist in the ionosphere and have significant effects on the evolution of equatorial plasma bubbles. In this paper, we simulated equatorial plasma bubbles (EPB) seeded by vertical neutral wind perturbations ...

Filamentary Alfvénic structures excited at the edges of equatorial plasma bubbles [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 Recent observations performed by the French DEMETER satellite at altitudes of about 710 km suggest that the generation of equatorial plasma bubbles correlates with the presence of filamentary structures of field aligned currents carried by Alfvén ...
