                         evaluate the localized ionospheric response to equatorial plasma 
                         irregularities from 2015 to 2020 over the South America region. 
                         The DIX is defined as the TEC deviation from a non-perturbed 
                         reference, with a scale ranging from 0 (quiet ionosphere) to over 
                         5 (extremely disturbed ionosphere) levels. This index has been 
                         used as a proxy to scale the intensity of Space Weather events 
                         driven by external (e.g., magnetic storms) and internal sources 
                         (e.g., plasma bubbles) (Denardini et al., 2020, Pican{\c{c}}o et 
                         al., 2020, 2021, 2022). Thus, we obtained the DIX for stations 
                         located at conjugate magnetic latitudes and investigated the 
                         interhemispheric asymmetries observed during plasma 
                         irregularities. Specifically, we compared DIX values observed 
                         during the irregularity passage over both hemispheres, supported 
                         by data from ionosonde and All-Sky Imager stations. Finally, we 
                         discuss how the DIX response to plasma irregularities is affected 
                         by different local phenomena over time (e.g., Equatorial 
                         Ionization Anomaly [EIA], South America Magnetic Anomaly 
                         [SAMA]).",
