Scientific paper

Large and small scale disturbances in the low and midlatitude ionosphere around evening were investigated from both ground and satellite observations during a low-latitude ionospheric disturbance event on June 2, 1978. The ISIS 2 satellite observed the event from the topside by the topside sounder onboard it. These observations revealed spatial structures of the ionospheric irregularity zones, while networks of ground stations observed the development in time of disturbances. Coinciding with the start of asymmetrical disturbances of low-latitude geomagnetic fields, an eastward electric field penetrating from the magnetosphere caused the formation of equatorial plasma bubbles as well as the development of the equatorial anomaly. A shell of magnetic field lines with equatorial altitude less than 1000 km was filled with irregularities caused by plasma bubbles. Another region of irregularities was observed along the outer shell of magnetic field lines with equatorial altitude of about 2000 km.
