Abstract This study presents a high‐resolution three‐dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the historic geomagnetic storm of 10–11 May 2024, using observational data for the ACE solar wind input. This extreme event was characterized by intense solar wind dynamic pressure (∼50 nPa) and exceptionally strong interplanetary magnetic ...

Secondary irregularities in the equatorial electrojet [PDF]
Although the two-stream instability theory, discussed by Farley, has been quite successful in accounting for many observed features of the plasma-wave irregularities produced in the equatorial electrojet, increased equipmental sensitivity and improved experimental techniques of observing the power spectrum of radio echoes from the electrojet have ...

Characterization of High‐Frequency GNSS Total Electron Content Variations
Abstract Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)–derived Total Electron Content (TEC) is widely used to investigate ionospheric variability, but has primarily been applied to low‐frequency fluctuations. Here we present a long‐term statistical characterization of high‐frequency (30–500 mHz) TEC variations using multi‐constellation GNSS data from 11 ...

The field of the equatorial electrojet from CHAMP data [PDF]
We apply a simple linear transform, the along-track second derivative, to four years of scalar and vectorial data from the CHAMP satellite. This transform, reminiscent of techniques used in the interpretation of aeromagnetic surveys, is applied either

Abstract Ionospheric currents and their associated magnetic perturbations are difficult to predict due to the high variability of their driving mechanisms. In addition, the 3D structure of the currents is challenging to unravel due to the lack of direct observations within the current flow region, particularly in the E $E$‐layer.

Latitudinal extent of the equatorial electrojet.
Theory is developed for estimating the latitudinal extent of the equatorial electrojet and the worldwide Sq currents including their return paths. It gives good estimates of the latitude of the worldwide Sq current focus as 36±2 degrees, and the latitudinal extent of the worldwide Sq current including its return paths as 84±3 degrees.

Nighttime Westward Equatorial Electrojet Observed During the January 2026 Geomagnetic Storm
Abstract The equatorial electrojet (EEJ) is a narrow band of zonal electric current flowing in the E‐region ionosphere within approximately ±2° $\pm 2{}^{\circ}$ latitude of the magnetic equator. At night, the EEJ is generally considered very weak because of low ionospheric conductivity.

Abstract Using gradient data from the Macau Science Satellite‐1 (MSS‐1), CHAMP, Swarm‐A, and Swarm‐C satellites, together with aeromagnetic model data from China, we built the China‐specific Global Gradient Lithospheric Magnetic Model (CGGLM). The new model reaches spherical harmonic degree 140 and uses the Iteratively Re‐weighted Least‐Squares method ...

Equatorial electrojet at African longitudes: first results from magnetic measurements [PDF]
In the framework of the French participation in the International Equatorial Electrojet Year (IEEY), ten magnetotelluric stations were installed between November 1992 and November 1994 along a 1200-km-long meridian profile, between Lamto (latitude 6.2°

Abstract We present a multi‐instrument analysis of the ionospheric response to the intense geomagnetic storm of 12 November 2025 over the American sector, with emphasis on the longitudinally asymmetric deformation, latitudinal expansion, and zonal drift reversal of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs).
