Including Atmospheric Backscatter Effects in Modeling of EMIC Wave‐Driven Precipitation
Abstract Pitch‐angle diffusion is a key mechanism driving radiation belt electron loss into the atmosphere. However, traditional bounce‐averaged models, which assume complete atmospheric absorption for loss cone electrons, cannot accurately quantify the loss cone fluxes.

Abstract The electron density‐based Péclet number has been measured for the first time in the solar wind, alongside a measure of the magnetic Reynolds number. The Péclet number is an important characteristic of energy and particle transport. High Péclet numbers indicate that particle advection dominates diffusion of energy.

Timescales of Asymmetries in Magnetospheric Dynamics Induced by the IMF By Component
Abstract Recent studies have shown that global geomagnetic activity and particle precipitation are enhanced, when the dawn‐dusk By $\left({B}_{y}\right)$ component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and Earth's magnetic dipole tilt angle Ψ ${\Psi }$ have opposite signs.

Abstract The Latmos Test Particle (LaTeP) model is a steady‐state test particle code to investigate the solar wind charge exchange soft X‐ray emissions of the steady‐state Earth magnetosphere. In this study, we present the development of a new dynamic version (D‐LaTeP) extending the LaTeP model to adapt to time‐varying solar wind conditions.

Stormtime Magnetospheric Processes Associated With the Dawnside Current Wedge
Abstract The intensification of the westward auroral electrojet (AEJ) in the dawn sector is a characteristic feature of the storm main phase. It is considered an ionospheric segment of a wedge‐type current system, the dawnside current wedge (DCW), formed by the disruption (short‐circuiting through the ionosphere) of a magnetospheric equatorial current.

Are Cusp‐Aligned Arcs the Equivalent of Auroral Streamers in a Closed Magnetosphere?
Abstract We present the first observations of a 3‐hour quasi‐periodic intensification of the polar auroras during a prolonged interval of strongly‐northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). This takes the form of a localized spot of auroral emission that appears near the pole which subsequently spreads sunward and antisunward to produce a sun ...

Abstract High‐speed plasma flows in Earth's magnetotail are important for the global dynamics of the magnetosphere. We survey 11 yrs of high‐speed plasma flows observed by the ARTEMIS spacecraft in Earth's distant magnetotail between XGSE = −52 RE and XGSE = −66 RE to investigate their properties for a wide range of solar and geomagnetic activity ...

Spontaneous Hot Flow Anomalies in Earth's Foreshock
Abstract In recent years, we have learned that foreshock transients play an influential role in solar wind coupling with Earth's magnetosphere. These transients include spontaneous hot flow anomalies (SHFAs), which are characterized by dips in magnetic field magnitude and ion density, enhanced temperature, decelerated and deflected solar wind flow, and
