Abstract Artificially-induced ionospheric holes result from in-situ injections of highly reactive molecules that greatly enhance the chemical recombination rates between the ions (0+) and electrons (e) found in the upper atmosphere. During the past decade, “experiment-of-opportunity” observations, theory and computer simulations have succeeded in establishing plasma depletion experiments as a useful tool for probing the normal and disturbed behavior of the ionosphere. Ionospheric hole experiments no focus on applications of the technique to laboratory-in-space investigations of various space plasma processes.
