Unraveling Super Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) Evolution During the 23 April 2023 Storm: Multi‐Instrument Observations and GITM‐SAMI3 Simulation

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Storm‐time equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) dynamics play a critical role in space weather impacts on communication and navigation systems, yet the mechanisms governing their formation and evolution under storm conditions remain poorly understood.

Numerical Simulations of the Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor Instability in the Kippenhahn-Schl\"{u}ter Prominence Model

open access: yes, 2011
The launch of the Hinode satellite has allowed unprecedented high resolution, stable images of solar quiescent prominences to be taken over extended periods of time. These new images led to the discovery of dark upflows that propagated from the base of

AATR an ionospheric activity indicator specifically based on GNSS measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This work reviews an ionospheric activity indicator useful for identifying disturbed periods affecting the performance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). This index is based in the Along Arc TEC Rate (AATR) and can be easily computed from dual-

Automated Detection of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles From the Magnetic Measurements of Macau Science Satellite‐1 Using Machine Learning

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) are plasma density depletion structures that produce magnetic field perturbations through the diamagnetic effect and therefore need to be identified and excluded in high‐precision geomagnetic field modeling. Traditional EPB detection methods typically rely on in situ electron density or total electron content ...

The Evolution of the Ionospheric Irregularities and Their Effects on GNSS Over China During the Geomagnetic Storm on 1 December 2023

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study investigated a large‐scale ionospheric irregularities event over low‐ to mid‐latitude China during the 1 December 2023 geomagnetic storm using ROTI data, loss‐of‐lock (LoL) in L2 from 250 GNSS receivers, and S4 data from 16 ISMs.

Forcing From Lower Thermosphere and Quiet Time Scintillation Longitudinal Dependence

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2020
The quiet time ionospheric plasma bubbles that occur almost every day become a significant threat for radio frequency (RF) signal degradation that affects communication and navigation systems.

The measured motions inside equatorial plasma bubbles [PDF]

open access: yes
A preliminary study of the vertical and north-south horizontal ion motions in plasma bubbles in the near-equatorial ionosphere utilizing drift meter data from Atmosphere Explorer E is presented. High resolution data show that the vertical ion velocity in

Rapid Evolution of Super Equatorial Plasma Bubbles and X‐Pattern EIA Formation During Extreme Storm Conditions on 12 November 2025

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Extreme conditions during storms profoundly alter the evolution of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs), yet the key dynamics remains poorly understood. We document the rapid expansion, contraction, and decay of super EPBs in South America during the 12 November 2025 storm with Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) Bz/By magnitude exceeding ∼50 nT ...

F-Region electron density irregularities during the development of equatorial plasma bubbles [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2000
The height variation of the ionospheric electron density was measured with rocket-borne electron density probes in two campaigns conducted from Alcantara (2.31°S; 35.2°W), Brazil. A Black Brant X sounding rocket was launched on 14 October 1994 at 1955hrs

Thousand‐Kilometer‐Scale Wavelike Undulations in Ionospheric Plasma Bubble Lifetime and Development Over Wide Longitudes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The irregularities of ionospheric plasma bubbles (EPBs) sequentially generated over wide longitudes are expected to share similar lifetime under normal conditions. In this study, we report a special case where the EPB irregularity lifetime over wide longitudes showed a quasi‐wavelike undulation pattern with wavelength of ∼3,000 km, that is ...
