Systematic study of intermediate-scale structures of equatorial plasma irregularities in the ionosphere based on CHAMP observations

Equatorial spread-F ionospheric plasma irregularities on the night-side, commonly called equatorial plasma bubbles (EPB), include electron density variations over a wide range of spatial scales. Here we focus on intermediate-scale structures ranging from 100 m to 10 km, which play an important role...
