Global Cowling Effects in the Sq‐EEJ Current System Under Electrostatic Approximation: Theoretical Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The solar quiet (Sq) current and equatorial electrojet are widely known as one of the fundamental currents in ionosphere. Although the Sq‐EEJ current system has been extensively investigated, the manner in which Hall and Pedersen current components collectively organize the system has not been clearly described.

Is there a hole in the topside, equatorial ionosphere?

Results in Physics, 2016
AbstractA paper in 2000 (Huba, 2000) found a depression in electron density in the topside ionosphere near the magnetic equator, based on the SAMI-2 physical ionospheric model. The model showed, for the first time, the formation of a hole in electron density in the altitude range 1500–2500km at geomagnetic equatorial latitudes.

Comparative Analysis of Ion and Electron Contributions to Ionospheric Ionization at Auroral and Subauroral Latitudes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Electron and proton precipitation into the nightside ionosphere is a key process in magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling. Although auroral electron precipitation at ∼0.1 ${\sim} 0.1$–10 keV is traditionally considered the main driver of auroral emissions, recent studies show that >30 ${ >} 30$ keV electrons and protons can significantly ...

Responses of Field‐Aligned Currents and Equatorial Electrojet to Sudden Decrease of Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure During the March 2023 Geomagnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters
We present the observations of field‐aligned currents and the equatorial electrojet during the 23 March 2023 magnetic storm, focusing on the effect of the drastic decrease of the solar wind dynamic pressure occurred during the main phase.

Post‐Sunset Merging of Equatorial Ionization Anomaly Crests Into a Single Peak Over ∼35° Longitude During the 19 January 2026 Geomagnetic Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract We investigate the nighttime equatorial ionosphere during the 19 January 2026 geomagnetic storm using Global‐scale Observations of the Limb and Disk OI 135.6 nm observations and ground‐based GPS Total Electron Content. The observations reveal a pronounced longitudinal asymmetry in the post‐sunset equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA).

Global Plasmaspheric Refilling Rates Inferred From Deep‐Learning Electron Density Reconstructions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract As a key process in magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling, plasmaspheric refilling is a long‐standing focus in space physics. In this study, we develop a global electron density (GEO‐NE) model based on a CNN‐Transformer architecture, and use the model to investigate plasmaspheric electron density refilling rates. Using global electron density maps

The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

TEC Enhancement due to Energetic Electrons Above Taiwan and the West Pacific

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013
The energetic electrons of the inner radiation belt during a geomagnetic disturbance can penetrate in the forbidden range of drift shells located at the heights of the topside equatorial ionosphere (< 1000 km).
