摘要: Abstract This work about the zonal drift velocity and signature of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) by measurements global positioning system (GPS) receiver all sky imager (ASI) operating in India, at low latitude region. The optical radio observations have been made from Kolhapur (16.8° N, 74.2° E) Hyderabad (17.37°N, 78.48°E), respectively. EPBs has estimated using images nightglow OI 630.0 nm emission recorded ASI Kolhapur. total electron content (TEC) GPS carried nearby station, Hyderabad. When depletions occurred 00:37 h (IST) TEC, were found to occur 5:30 h data emission. focuses on simultaneous TEC intensity emissions for during nighttime. occurrence period be different. To study this difference, established. averaged eastward was 138 m/s. calculated values velocities are well correlated with that empirical model values. may helpful finding growth over latitude.
