abstract = "Occurrences of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) and medium-scale
traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) were studied using GPS
satellite data-based total electron content mapping, ionograms,
and 630 nm all-sky airglow images observed over the South American
continent during the period of 2014-2015. In many cases, we
observed a close relationship between the inter-bubble distance
and the horizontal wavelength of the MSTIDs. The MSTIDs followed
by EPBs occurred primarily in the afternoon to evening period
under strong tropospheric convective activities (cold fronts
and/or intertropical convergence zones). The close relationship
between EPBs and MSTIDs suggests that MSTIDs could be one of the
seeding sources of EPBs.",
