The impact of gravity waves rising from convection in the lower atmosphere on the generation and nonlinear evolution of equatorial bubble

The nonlinear evolution of equatorial F-region plasma bubbles under varying ambient ionospheric conditions and gravity wave seeding perturbations in the bottomside F-layer is studied. To do so, the gravity wave propagation from the convective source region in the lower atmosphere to the thermosphe...
