Scientific paper

This paper discovers the ionospheric plasma caves and/or tunnels by observations of the Dynamic Explorer-2 (DE-2) satellite during 1981-1983 and simulations of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2007). The IRI simulation predicts remarkable electron densities reductions located underneath the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA), which are termed the plasma caves. The plasma caves are daytime features (08:00-19:00LT), and range from the E-region up to 250 km altitude with 10° width in the latitudinal direction. In-situ measurements of the ion and electron densities probed by the DE-2 confirm existence of the plasma caves at low altitudes of the EIA ionosphere.
