Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) have long been studied and are becoming increasingly
important because they cause severe scintillations in radio waves from Global Navigation …

An overview of the plasma environment near the earth is provided. We describe how the
near-earth plasma is formed, including photo-ionization from solar photons and impact …

Plasma blob is generally a low‐latitude phenomenon occurring at the poleward edge of
equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) during post‐sunset periods. Here we report a case of …

Investigation of coupling mechanisms between the troposphere and the ionosphere requires
a multidisciplinary approach involving several branches of atmospheric sciences, from …

Plasma bubbles are regions of depleted plasma density in the nighttime equatorial
ionosphere. Plasma enhancements, also referred as plasma blobs, are regions where the …

Under the waning solar minimum conditions during 2009 and 2010, the Ion Velocity Meter,
part of the Coupled Ion Neutral Dynamics Investigation aboard the Communication …

Low‐latitude plasma blobs have been studied since their first being reported in 1986.
However, investigations on temporal evolution of a blob or on continental scale (> 2,000 km) …

Power law spectra have been invoked to interpret equatorial scintillation data for decades.
Published analyses of intensity and phase scintillation data typically report power law …

Plasma blobs, localized plasma density enhancements that occur singularly or in periodic
groups, have been observed by in situ sensors in the lower-and middle-latitude nighttime …

During the recent solar minimum, solar activity reached the lowest levels observed during
the space age, resulting in a contracted atmosphere. This extremely low solar activity …
