Short summary
Features of planetary waves in Chinese low-latitude regions are investigated. Planetary waves are observed in both MLT winds and ionospheric vertical drifts. ESF occurrence is with the uplift of the F layer caused by PRE, and a delay of about 6 days is observed for planetary waves propagating from the lower atmosphere to the ionosphere. This investigation contributes to the understanding of atmosphere–ionosphere coupling processes and the effects of planetary waves on ESF.
