Using the data of the topside ionosphere sounding from the Intercosmos-19 satellite, longitudinal variations in foF2 at low latitudes at the daytime hours are considered. It is obtained that these variations in particular days in the majority of cases have a regular wave-like character with periods of about 75°-100° in longitude and amplitudes on the average of 2-4 MHz. In other words, along the valley and crests of the equatorial anomaly, a structure with four maximums and four minimums which have a tendency to be located near certain longitudes (the same in all seasons) is observed. The variations in foF2 along the crests of the equatorial anomaly are usually in anti-phase to variations along its valley. Comparing the characteristics of this wavelike structure at the daytime and nighttime hours, we obtained that the average positions of its extremes at the nighttime hours are shifted eastwards by 10°-50° relative to the daytime extremes. As a cause of formation of such a structure, high harmonics of atmospheric tides are assumed which, uplifting from below to heights of the E region, via the electric currents in this region influence the longitudinal structure of the electrodynamic plasma drift over the equator and by that impact the structure of the entire daytime low-latitude ionosphere.
