TITLE=A system science perspective of the drivers of equatorial plasma bubbles JOURNAL=Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences VOLUME=9 YEAR=2023 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/astronomy-and-space-sciences/articles/10.3389/fspas.2022.1064150 DOI=10.3389/fspas.2022.1064150 ISSN=2296-987X ABSTRACT=

The complex drivers of equatorial plasma bubbles and resulting scintillation requires a system science approach spanning the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere disciplines. The current roadmap missions strongly support this approach, but gaps are identified in planned observations, with potential mission and solutions proposed.
