     abstract = "{The multisatellite observations were used to study the possible factors
        leading to the development of the plasma density enhancements
        during the August 2003 storm period. The plasma depletions and
        enhancements (also referred as bubbles and blobs, respectively)
        were observed by first satellite of the Republic of China around
        345{\textdegree}E sector at different local time on 17 August,
        before the midnight after the storm sudden commencement.
        However, only the depletions were recorded on 18 August at the
        same longitude sector and at nearly the same time as that on 17
        August. The motions of the bubbles and blobs displayed different
        characteristics on 17 August. From Challenging Mini-satellite
        Payload, Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, and total
        electron content map, the equatorial ionization anomaly was
        inhibited and displayed more asymmetric on 17 August and became
        stronger on 18 August. A density enhancement near the northern
        crest was recorded by Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment,
        and similar enhancements were found in total electron content
        map at low-latitude regions of both hemispheres on 17 August.
        The results suggest that the meridional neutral wind is crucial
        and plays an important role in the development of the plasma
        blobs. And the variations of meridional neutral wind may be
        linked with the large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances
        during the disturbed periods.}",
