Performance Investigation of Four Ionospheric Models in Estimating hmF2 in High‐Latitude Regions
Abstract As a critical parameter characterizing the vertical structure of the ionosphere, the peak height of the F2 layer (hmF2) plays an essential role in frequency selection and signal propagation in high‐frequency (HF) communication systems. Accurate prediction of hmF2 is particularly important in high‐latitude regions.

Multi‐Instrument Observations of Ion‐Neutral Coupling in the Dayside Cusp
Using data from the Scanning Doppler Imager, the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network, the EISCAT Svalbard Radar, and an auroral all‐sky imager, we examine an instance of F region neutral winds which have been influenced by the presence of poleward moving ...

On the nature of nighttime ionisation enhancements observed with the Athens Digisonde [PDF]
True height electron density profiles observed with the Athens Digisonde were analyzed together with geomagnetic data indices for six magnetic storms in September and October 2000 in an effort to define the ionospheric structure during events of ...

Observing the Earth's Plasmasphere and Ionosphere From the Lunar Surface
Abstract We present the analysis of the first lunar‐based observational characterization of the Earth's plasmasphere and ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals tracked from the lunar surface by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE). The Earth‐Moon geometry enables limb sounding of the plasmasphere at altitudes exceeding 3,000

A Statistical study of the Doppler spectral width of high-latitude ionospheric F-region echoes recorded with SuperDARN coherent HF radars [PDF]
The HF radars of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) provide measurements of the E × B drift of ionospheric plasma over extended regions of the high-latitude ionosphere. We have conducted a statistical study of the associated Doppler

Abstract Using Van Allen Probes data (2013–2015), we report that highly oblique chorus waves frequently occur in low‐density regions where fpe/fce≈3 ${f}_{\text{pe}}/{f}_{\text{ce}}\approx 3$. These waves exhibit an electric‐to‐magnetic energy ratio PE/c2PB>0.5 $\sqrt{{P}_{\mathrm{E}}/{c}^{2}{P}_{\mathrm{B}}} > 0.5$, much higher than the typical <0.1 ${

Auroral Ionospheric Erosion at Jupiter
Abstract The generation of Jupiter's main auroral oval is dominated by broadband‐energy electron beams, in contrast with the dominance of peaked electron energy spectra at Earth. Wave‐particle interactions involving Alfvén waves have been theorized to be the main mechanism driving the broadband acceleration of electrons.
