Abstract This study investigated electron phase space densities (PSDs) in geostationary orbits using data from Korea's geostationary satellite, GK2A, as well as GOES‐16 and GOES‐17 satellites. The PSDs were computed from electron fluxes measured by each satellite during a geomagnetically quiet period as defined by stringent conditions on geomagnetic ...

Abstract Ionospheric molecular ions, such as N2+ ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}^{+}$, NO+, and O2+ ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{+}$, have been observed in Earth's high‐altitude ionosphere and the magnetosphere by several spacecraft missions. Their presence not only indicates that they obtain sufficient energy through effective energization mechanisms, predominantly during ...

Abstract We have detected and characterize traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) in the mid‐latitude ionosphere over Europe using data from the Kharkiv incoherent scatter (IS) radar. The study focused on observations near solstices and equinoxes during solar cycle 24 under magnetically quiet conditions.

Ionospheric D Region: Characteristics Near Dawn and Dusk
Abstract The characteristics of very low frequency (VLF) radio wave propagation in the Earth‐ionosphere waveguide are determined particularly through dawn and dusk using phase and amplitude measurements of man‐made signals propagating below the ionospheric D region. For the first time variations of “Wait” height and sharpness parameters, H' and β, have

Lightning‐Induced Electron Precipitation Events Observed at Low Altitudes
Abstract Lightning‐induced electron precipitation (LEP) events are important phenomena in the Earth's inner magnetosphere, where atmospheric lightning strokes cause energetic electron loss from the radiation belts. Lightning strokes generate electromagnetic waves that penetrate the ionosphere and propagate through the Earth's magnetosphere as so‐called

Abstract During daylight hours, the concentration of electrons in the ionosphere can be amplified by solar flares, which may subsequently influence the propagation of radio waves. Previous research on Very Low Frequency (VLF) signals focused on X‐class and M‐class flares.

Abstract On 1 January 2024, the Mw 7.5 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan generated ionospheric disturbances detected via dense GNSS networks. Significant coseismic acoustic waves emerged ∼8 min post‐event, exhibiting 0.3 TECU amplitudes, 2–8 min periods, and ∼1 km/s propagation speeds.

Abstract Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are unwanted currents flowing in long grounded conductors because of space weather phenomena. Example GICs are those flowing in power transmission lines via grounded transformer neutrals. Prediction models, used to foresee the amplitudes and waveforms of those currents and to identify weak points in ...

The Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere‐Ground Responses to the May 2024 Super Solar Storm
Abstract Earth suffered the attack of the strongest geomagnetic storm in the last 20 years (Kp = 9, Dst∼ ${\sim} $ −400 nT) occurred on 11 May 2024. Taking advantage of the LEO multi‐parameter CSES satellite (launched in 2018) with a large inclination angle 97° $97{}^{\circ}$, with the joint observations of NOAA and GOES, we present a comprehensive ...

Abstract The recent trends of global warming slowdown have garnered increased attention in the field of climate science. The Qinghai province, a high‐altitude region in northwest China, is highly sensitive to climate change, and understanding its response to the warming slowdown is crucial.
