Abstract
Slant Total Electron Content values from Global Navigation Satellite System are used to detect the Equatorial Plasma Bubbles in the Ionosphere.
Download GPS data from SOPAC website in RINEX format
Data is converted from RINEX to .cmn format using GPS TEC software
Calculate ROT and ROTI
Difference between Evening ROTI and Day time ROTI is calculated
If the difference exceeds 0.05, then Equatorial Plasma Bubble is Detected
