Abstract:This study focuses on the causes for the generation of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) over the Indian subcontinent and their correlation with atmospheric‐ionospheric disturbances resulting from the eruption of the Tonga volcano on 15 January 2022. Concurrent ionosonde observations obtained from Tirunelveli (8.67°N, 77.81°E) and Prayagraj (25.41°N, 81.93°E) show the presence of spread‐F traces in ionograms. Notably, the EPBs are also accompanied by plasma blobs (PBs), with their pronounced occurrence during m… Show more
