    Abstract
  • The ionospheric irregularity events observed on November 20, 2011 were analyzed using ground- and space-based instruments at Hainan station (19.5°N, 109.1°E, dip: 13.6°N) and magnetic equatorial region. The comprehensive observations of Hainan station VHF radar, ionospheric scintillation and digisonde show that strong ionospheric irregularities occurred near the sunset, and the irregularities pattern mainly appeared as radar plume and strong scintillation. Combined with the observations obtained by magnetic equatorial GPS and the C/NOFS satellite, the radar plume and strong scintillation over Hainan region near the sunset are obviously related to the primary plasma bubble generated in the magnetic equatorial region of the South China Sea.
