Scientific paper

During June solstices in solar minimum years, a deep plasma depletion appears at equatorial latitudes in DMSP observations when the orbit is near the South Atlantic Anomaly at 20 LT. The density minimum is approximately 20 percent of the density outside the depletion. Simultaneous measurements made by the PLP during June 2008 on C/NOFS show decreases in density around the equator at altitudes of 400 km with intense wave-like structures on the edges and within the density depletion. We will discuss possible mechanisms to account for these observations.
