Seeding of equatorial plasma depletions by polarization electric fields from middle latitudes: Experimental evidence

It is well‐known that large wedges of depleted plasma often form in the equatorial ionosphere after sunset. Irregularities in and around these depletions cause scintillation on trans‐ionospheric radio paths, as well as strong VHF backscatter. The ultimate stage of depletion growth is controlled by a...
