Description

Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) are ionospheric electron density depletions near the Earth's geomagnetic equator which causes the disruptions in the radio signal, communication and navigation system. In this paper, we have analyzed ground based GPS data during quiet and disturbed geomagnetic condition to study the plasma bubble characteristics which is further confirmed with satellite based observation from C/NOFS (Communications/Navigation Outage Forecasting System). The effect of geomagnetic storm on generation of plasma bubble is also discussed. The characteristics of plasma bubble generated during geomagnetic storms have been compared to that generated during geomagnetic quiet condition. The results of the studied are discussed in accordance with other reported results. (author)
