not exist during the near-noon hours. Such behavior and the lifetime agreed with
the results of Akhoondzadeh and Saradjian (
2011
). The obtained morphological
features also agreed with Pulinets and Tsybulya (
2010
).
We should notice that a few discrepancies persist between the observations
and the model results. (1) The simulations underestimate the amplitudes of the
TEC anomaly at the Northern Hemisphere and overestimate them at the Southern
Hemisphere in comparison with the observations. (2) Negative structures are
