Klobuchar et al. (1978) and Yeh et al. (1979) have shown that the Faraday rotation technique can be used to observe ionospheric electron content depletions associated with amplitude scintillations of transionospherically propagated signals. However, no long term study on the behavior of the ionization depletions associated with scintillations in the equatorial region has yet been reported. The present investigation is concerned with the results of such measurements at an equatorial station in Peru during a period of about one year. The results combined with observations on amplitude scintillations of satellite signals in the VHF to microwave range have been used to obtain information on the nature and evolution of equatorial ionospheric irregularities. The ionization depletions may be taken as the manifestation of tens of km scale irregularities occupying a considerable vertical range around the F-region, whereas km scale irregularities are responsible for VHF scintillations.
