Midlatitude Plasma Blob-like Structures Along With Super Equatorial Plasma Bubbles During the May 2024 Great Geomagnetic Storm
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 midlatitude ionospheric plasma blob-like structures occurring along with super EPBs over East Asia around sunrise during the May 2024 great geomagnetic storm. Interestingly, the blob-like structures appeared at both the poleward and westward edges of EPBs, reached up to 40°N magnetic latitudes, and migrated westward several thousand kilometers together with the bubble. The total electron content (TEC) inside the blob-like structures was enhanced by ∼50 TEC units relative to the ambient ionosphere. The blob-like structure at the EPB poleward edge could be partly linked with field-aligned plasma accumulation due to poleward development of bubble. For the blob-like structure at the EPB west side, one possible mechanism is that it was formed and enhanced accompanying the bubble evolution and westward drift.
期刊介绍:
Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) publishes high-impact, innovative, and timely research on major scientific advances in all the major geoscience disciplines. Papers are communications-length articles and should have broad and immediate implications in their discipline or across the geosciences. GRLmaintains the fastest turn-around of all high-impact publications in the geosciences and works closely with authors to ensure broad visibility of top papers.
