Distinct Cloud‐to‐Ground Lightning Properties in Frontal Versus Warm‐Sector Heavy Rainfall Events

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Do systematic differences in cloud‐to‐ground (CG) lightning properties—particularly return stroke number and current intensity—exist across different thunderstorm types? This question is foundational not only to the atmospheric electricity but also to advancing lightning risk prediction, which crucially depends on a robust understanding of how

On the Possibility of Driving the Electron Flux Probabilistic Models by the AE Index

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We present the new probabilistic model of the electron fluxes designed to assess the risks of the spacecraft surface charging for missions with near‐equatorial orbits in the inner magnetosphere. It is a second model developed within a frame of the European Space Agency's activity “Plasma Environment Modeling in the Earth's Magnetosphere ...

Numerical simulations of multi-scale astrophysical problems: The example of Type Ia supernovae

, 2007
Vastly different time and length scales are a common problem in numerical simulations of astrophysical phenomena. Here, we present an approach to numerical modeling of such objects on the example of Type Ia supernova simulations.

Assessing Magnetic Fluctuations Effects in the South American Sector in Relation to Global Variations Using Ksa Index, Kp Index, and Hybrid Formats During Quiet Times Across the Seasons of the 2020 Solar Minimum

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic indices can be used to quantify variations in geomagnetic activity caused by Sun‐Earth interactions across the magnetosphere and ionosphere. The global Kp index is widely used as a global geomagnetic indicator, but it is based mostly on the Northern Hemisphere with no contributions from South American observatories.

Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Coupling in the Northern Polar Region During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Superstorm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The May 2024 superstorm, as the most intense geomagnetic storm since 2003, caused a variety of disturbances in the magnetosphere‐ionosphere‐thermosphere system. This study investigates the long‐lasting electron density depletion in the polar region and the underlying ionosphere‐thermosphere coupling, based on a comprehensive set of ...

Poleward Disturbances in Thermospheric Winds During the 3–4 November 2021 Geomagnetic Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This study focuses on ionosphere‐thermosphere coupling over North America during the 3–4 November 2021 strong geomagnetic storm (Kp 8−). We comprehensively analyze storm‐time ionospheric and thermospheric disturbances using data from ground‐based instruments at Poker Flat, Millstone Hill, and Urbana, as well as satellite observations and model

Evidence of an Extended Alfvén Wing System at Enceladus: Cassini's Multi‐Instrument Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We report in situ evidence for Enceladus' Alfvén wing system and its coupling with Saturn's ionosphere, based on multi‐instrument observations from the Cassini spacecraft. Analysis of 36 events, including 13 from non‐flyby paths, confirms the existence of a Main Alfvén Wing (MAW) current system generated at Enceladus, and associated Reflected ...

Differentiating Plumes and Local Torus Segments of Enceladus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Enceladus's south polar plumes and their surrounding torus segments (local plasma regions formed by plume material diffusion) are key to understanding its magnetospheric interaction; however, clear observational criteria to distinguish them remain lacking.

A New Method for Probabilistic Spatiotemporal Forecasts of Solar Soft X‐Ray “S‐Class” (>X10) Superflares

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Solar superflares of S‐class (>X10 in soft X‐rays) pose extreme space weather hazards, yet their prediction remains a fundamental challenge owing to their rapid and transient natures and the limitations of conventional event‐based forecasts. We introduce for the first time, a probabilistic spatiotemporal framework designed to identify extended

Obscuration of Crystalline Ca‐Sulfate in XRD and Raman Data When Coated by Amorphous Ferric Sulfate: Implications for the Amorphous Components at Gale Crater

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Throughout Gale crater on Mars, the Curiosity rover has found high abundances (15–73 wt%) of X‐ray amorphous materials in the rocks and sediments. The composition of this amorphous fraction is primarily calculated by subtracting crystalline abundances measured by the Chemistry & Mineralogy X‐Ray Diffractometer (CheMin) from bulk elemental ...
