The diurnal-eastward propagating tide with zonal wavenumber 3 (DE3) has gained significant attention due to its ability to preferentially propagate to the ionosphere and thermosphere (IT) from the tropical troposphere, thus effectively coupling these atmospheric regions. In this work, we demonstrate the existence of a pronounced zonal wavenumber 4 (WN4) structure in the low-latitude ionosphere during May 27 - June 5, 2020 using concurrent in-situ total ion number density measurements from the Scintillation Observations and Response of The Ionosphere to Electrodynamics (SORTIE) and the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) satellites. Temperature observations from the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics Dynamics Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (TIMED/SABER) instrument near 105 km and output from the Specified Dynamics Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere and ionosphere eXtension (SD/WACCM-X) demonstrate that this global-scale ionospheric WN4 structure is due to DE3 propagating through the lower thermosphere.
