                         during the period around the 2015 Saint Patrick magnetic storm and 
                         when equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) are observed during the 
                         quiet time over South America during two other events. It uses the 
                         ionospheric scales index map based on the disturbance ionospheric 
                         index (DIX). The results are compared to the traces of the 
                         ionograms obtained at three different ionospheric stations 
                         (Fortaleza, Campo Grande, and Cachoeira Paulista) in Brazil 
                         acquired in the same period and at the same time rate. The index 
                         is based on the TEC map developed at the Brazilian Studies and 
                         Monitoring of Space Weather (Embrace/INPE). It covers the whole 
                         South America (latitudes from 20°N to 60°S and longitudes from 
                         90°W to 30°W) with 0.5° × 0.5° resolution cells (60 × 60 km2 ). 
                         Among the results, the DIX map revealed some patches of Disturbed 
                         and Weakly Disturbed ionospheric conditions during the 
                         magnetically quiet time before the storm, which were associated 
                         with range and frequency Spread\‐F over the same area as 
                         observed in ionograms. Also, the information from the southern 
                         portion of the dip equator showed a transition from occurrences of 
                         Spread\‐F prior to sunrise to a condition favorable enough 
                         to develop a F3 layer after sunrise.",
