Abstract

This paper contains the study of ionosphere which plays the main role in HF transmission. The equatorial ionospheric plasma bubbles that occur at the low-latitude F-region of the ionosphere and the irregularities associated with them are responsible for several interference and sudden disruption of transionospheric radio propagation up to Giga Hertz frequency range, interfering with the communication systems, including the GPS. A CCD-based all-sky imager with 180° field-of-view is used to take photographs of all sky on clear, moonless nights, to study the F-region dynamics through the imaging with optical filter OI 630.0 nm oxygen emission line.
