Multi‐Source Perturbations in the Evolution of a Low‐Latitudinal Equatorial Plasma Bubble Event Occurred Over China by Longchang Sun, Jiyao Xu, Yajun Zhu, Wei Yuan, Hong Gao, Chunxiao Yan

“…We found that EPB event initially evolved from bottom perturbations (∼600 km scale) seeded by atmospheric gravity waves in a form of large‐scale wave‐like structure, accompanying smaller‐scale perturbations (∼150 km scale) mostly by collision‐shear instability (CSI); once formed, those seed perturbations further evolved into the ionospheric topside by the plasma instability. …”
