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 ...

Thermospheric atomic oxygen density estimates using the EISCAT Svalbard Radar [PDF]
[1] Coupling between the ionized and neutral atmosphere through particle collisions allows an indirect study of the neutral atmosphere through measurements of ionospheric plasma parameters. We estimate the neutral density of the upper thermosphere above ~

Local Evolution of a Prenoon Drainage Plume
Abstract Plasmaspheric drainage plumes are typically observed in the postnoon sector during geomagnetic storms, but their local evolution in the prenoon sector remains poorly understood. Here, we report in situ observations from the Van Allen Probe, revealing multiple localized enhancements in cold electron density near apogee in the prenoon sector ...

Because of the high electrical conductivity along geomagnetic field lines, the ionosphere and the magnetosphere are closely couoled. After an introductory presentation of some evidence of this coupling, the method for mathematical modeling of the ...

Abstract Using NASA's Global‐scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD)'s Dark Limb Mode (DLM) observations, we provide a multi‐year characterization of nighttime Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) morphology and variability. From geostationary orbit, GOLD measures OI 135.6 nm limb radiance at ∼33°E and ∼128°W longitudes, yielding routine, time ...

Paleosecular Variation Constraints on Geomagnetic Field Morphology at ca. 1100 Ma
Abstract Paleosecular variation provides a statistical test of long‐term geomagnetic field morphology, but its behavior across Precambrian polarity regimes remains poorly constrained. We compile a virtual geomagnetic pole dispersion data set spanning 1130–1070 Ma and apply nonlinear Model G fitting to evaluate field structure across the interval ...

Auroral Zone Geomagnetic Activity and Space Weather Implications
Geomagnetic variability in the auroral zone ionosphere has long been a subject of research interest, both for the large dynamic electrical currents that couple it to the magnetosphere, and the space weather impacts of these currents.

ABSTRACT The Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere establish an essential connection between Earth's lower atmosphere and upper atmosphere because wind patterns essential for atmospheric movement also influence energy distribution and chemical movements during geomagnetic storms that disrupt satellite operations and space weather prediction systems.

Magnetospheric convection electric field dynamics and stormtime particle energization: Case study of the magnetic storm of 4 May 1998 [PDF]
International audienceIt is shown that narrow channels of high electric field are an effective mechanism for injecting plasma into the inner magnetosphere. Analytical expressions for the electric field cannot produce these channels of intense plasma flow,

An Information Geometry‐Based Method to Study Atmospheric and Seismic Phenomena With VLF Signals
Abstract We propose to employ the framework of information geometry to detect anomalies in Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Low Frequency (LF) signal propagation, measured globally across amplitude and phase channels. Using a sliding‐window approach, the probability distributions of signal data are compared over adjacent intervals, defining a statistical ...
