Observed effects of a geomagnetic storm on an RTK positioning network at high latitudes
At high latitudes, above 60° N, in the vicinity of the auroral oval, the ionosphere frequently experiences disturbed conditions that impact GNSS-based services.

Ionospheric currents estimated simultaneously from CHAMP satelliteand IMAGE ground-based magnetic field measurements: a statisticalstudy at auroral latitudes [PDF]
One important contribution to the magnetic field measured at satellite altitude and at ground level comes from the external currents. We used the total field data sampled by the Overhauser Magnetometer on CHAMP and the horizontal magnetic field ...

Cold Plasma Source of Upflowing Ionospheric Ions in the Nightside Auroral Ionosphere
The frequent occurrence of energetic O+ upflowing ionospheric ions (UFI) at high altitude during auroral substorms raises the question of the cold plasma source and acceleration altitude for the O+ ions, and their possible effects on the substorm-time plasma sheet.

Auroral streamers and magnetic flux closure [PDF]
peer reviewedOn 7 December 2000 at 2200 UT an auroral streamer was observed to develop above Scandinavia with the IMAGE-FUV global imagers. The ionospheric equivalent current deduced from the MIRACLE-IMAGE Scandinavian ground-based network of ...

Possible role of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling in auroral arc generation [PDF]
Three models for the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling feedback instability are considered. The first model is based on demagnetization of hot ions in the plasma sheet.

Nonlinear model of short-scale electrodynamics in the auroral ionosphere [PDF]
The optical detection of auroral subarcs a few tens of m wide as well as the direct observation of shears several m/s per m over km to sub km scales by rocket instrumentation both indicate that violent and highly localized electrodynamics can occur at

Studies of the Conductivities in the Auroral Zone Ionosphere
A review of some recent studies by EISCAT of the conductivities in the auroral zone ionosphere is presented. The quiet time Hall and Pedersen conductivities appear to vary smoothly with the solar zenith angle in agreement with a photochemical equilibrium state of the ionospheric plasma.

Localized fast flow disturbance observed in the plasma sheet and in the ionosphere [PDF]
An isolated plasma sheet flow burst took place at 22:02 UT, 1 September 2002, when the Cluster footpoint was located within the area covered by the Magnetometers-Ionospheric Radars-All-sky Cameras Large Experiment (MIRACLE). The event was associated with

First Kinetic 3‐D Simulations of the High‐Latitude Electrojet Spanning an Entire Turbulent Flux Tube
Abstract Radar and rocket observations of the terrestrial ionosphere frequently measure turbulent plasma waves, especially during geospace storms. The non‐linear behavior of these waves remains poorly characterized. This paper presents the first fully kinetic 3‐D particle‐in‐cell simulations of Farley–Buneman (FB) turbulence spanning an entire high ...
