Nonlinear Evolution of Auroral Fine Structures Through the Feedback Instability in a Dipole Field Configuration

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Nonlinear simulations of the feedback instability in the Alfvénic magnetosphere‐ionosphere (M‐I) coupling system have been carried out by means of the reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with spatially non‐uniform kinematic viscosity and resistivity, coupled with two‐fluid equations, in order to investigate auroral fine‐structure ...

Inter‐Orbit Variability of Jupiter's Current Sheet Morphology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The structure of Jupiter's magnetosphere reflects the combined effects of a strong intrinsic field and an extended hinged current sheet whose morphology varies with solar wind forcing. We present a study of Jupiter's magnetodisc that combines the UCL‐AGA magnetodisc code with Khurana's generalized, hinged current sheet models (1992/2022) to ...

Height‐Dependent Evolution of the Ionospheric Response to the May 2024 Superstorm: Global GNSS‐POD, GNSS‐RO, and Ground‐Based Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Capturing global ionospheric response during extreme geomagnetic storms remains a major observational challenge. During 10–11 May, 2024 superstorm, we investigate the height‐dependent response of the F‐region using multi‐constellation GNSS‐POD limb‐sounding measurements from COSMIC‐2, Spire, PlanetiQ, and FengYun‐3 satellites. Approximately 12,

Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Responses to the March 2023 Geomagnetic Storm Using Observations and TIEGCM Simulations Driven by Data Assimilated Aurora and Electric Fields

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We investigate Ionosphere‐Thermosphere (IT) responses to the March 2023 geomagnetic storm using GOLD and PFISR observations, along with TIEGCM simulations driven by data‐assimilated aurora and electric fields. A Lattice Kriging approach is implemented to assimilate auroral electron flux and characteristic energy from ground‐based (THEMIS/ASIs)

Gravity Wave Influences on MSTID Climatology Over CONUS: WACCM‐X Year‐Long Simulation and GNSS Long‐Term Observation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Medium‐Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (MSTIDs) are prominent wave‐like structures in the ionosphere, with complex generation mechanisms involving both atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) and electrodynamic instabilities such as the Perkins instability (PI).

Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

Lunar Crustal Formation by Melt Migration and Differentiation Within a Stagnant Lid

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The lunar anorthosite highlands represent the Moon's primary crust, which formed during the solidification of a magma ocean following the Moon‐forming giant impact. However, the canonical model of anorthite flotation in the crystallizing magma ocean often struggles to reproduce the long > ${ >} $200 Myr solidification timescale required by the

Characterization of Dust in Saturn's Rings Using Cassini Spacecraft Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The dust distribution in Saturn's rings is investigated using dust impacts registered by the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument onboard the Cassini spacecraft. Dust impacts, recorded as spiky signals in electric field waveforms, are used to determine profiles of impact rates and amplitudes of spikes during individual equatorial ...

What Observations Would an Energetic Neutral Atom Imager Have Made During the Voyager 2 Flyby of Uranus?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present large‐scale simulations of energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions at Uranus from a spacecraft viewpoint. Models of magnetic field, extended hydrogen exosphere, moon‐sourced neutral tori, and proton radiation belt are implemented into a simulator to evaluate the production of ENAs for L $L$ = 1–15.

Solar Wind–Magnetosphere–Ionosphere Coupling Under Extreme External Driving: Characteristics of Dayside Ground Magnetic Disturbances

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The objective of the present study is to investigate solar wind‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling (SWMIC) under intense external driving in terms of dayside ground magnetic disturbances. Dayside magnetic reconnection drives a region‐1 sense current system, the SWMIC current system.
