A brief review of equatorial ionization anomaly and ionospheric irregularities (2018, background): “During the early stages of major geomagnetic storms especially super storms, the daytime plasma fountain becomes a super fountain (Balan et al., 2009) and the EIA becomes strong with over 1000% increase in density at the crests that shift up to ±30° latitudes (e.”
A physical mechanism of positive ionospheric storms at low latitudes and midlatitudes (2010, background): “The EIA becomes weak because as the crests shift to higher latitudes they encounter regions where geomagnetic field lines are more inclined and hence plasma gets lost by downward diffusion to low altitudes of heavy chemical loss [ Balan et al., 2009 ].”
