More Details: The unusual daytime F-region Field-Aligned Irregularities (FAIs) were observed by the HCOPAR and the satellites at low latitudes on 13 June 2022. These irregularities survived from night-time to the following afternoon at 15:00 LT. During daytime, they appeared as fossil structures with low Doppler velocities and narrow spectral widths. These characteristics indicated that they drifted along the magnetic field lines without apparent zonal velocity to low latitudes. Combining the observations of the ICON satellite and the Hainan Digisonde, we derived the movement trails of these daytime irregularities. We attributed their generation to the rapid ascent of the F-layer due to the fluctuation of IMF Bz during the quiet geomagnetic conditions. Subsequently, the influence of the substorm on the low-latitude ionosphere was investigated and simulated. The substorm caused the intense Joule heating that enhanced the southward neutral winds, carrying the neutral compositional disturbances to low latitudes and resulting in a negative storm effect in Southeast Asia. The negative storm formed a low-density circumstance and slowed the dissipation of the daytime FAIs. These results may provide new insights into the generation of post-midnight irregularities and their relationship with daytime fossil structures.
