Abstract

The paper reviews the properties of large, medium and small irregularities produced by the cross-field instability mechanism in the equatorial E-region. These studies were mainly carried out with rocket-borne Langmuir probes, resonance probes, proton precession magnetometers and electric field probes flown from an equatorial station Thumba. Results on the regions of occurrence, shapes, amplitudes, spectrum, and direction of propagation of the irregularities are described.
