Latitude Survey of Neutrons and Muons to Determine Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing Yield Functions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) is a ground‐based technique that utilizes epithermal neutron measurements as a proxy for environmental hydrogen content. Similarly to other ground‐based cosmic ray detectors (e.g., neutron monitors), CRNS detectors are affected by the solar cycle and space weather events.

Near‐Earth Cosmic Ray Modulation Index ϕ and Neutron Monitor Cutoff Rigidities at Hourly Cadence: Toward an Improved Monitoring of Solar‐Terrestrial Radiation Environment, Space Weather, and Space Climate

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic rays (CRs) are energetic particles originating from galactic and extragalactic sources. When arriving into the solar system and the Sun's heliosphere, they are diverted and modulated by the magnetic activity of the Sun. This modulation can be quantified by the modulation parameter ϕ $\phi $ determined with the Force‐field approximation (

Arase/LEPi Observations of Low‐Energy H+ and O+ Ion Fluxes in the Inner Magnetosphere: Implications for the Relationship Between Warm Plasma Cloak and Oxygen Torus

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We investigated the spatial distributions and pitch‐angle distributions of 30–300 eV H+ and O+ ion fluxes using data obtained by the low‐energy particle experiments‐ion mass analyzer (LEPi) onboard the Arase satellite. A statistical analysis over 3.7 years reveals that the H+ ion flux is enhanced at L > 4 from the premidnight sector through ...

Fundamental Poloidal Wave Event Extending From Midnight to Dawn

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fundamental poloidal (P1) waves are a class of magnetospheric standing Alfvén waves characterized by field line oscillations in the meridional plane. P1 waves are infrequently excited in the ring current region and are believed to be the source of giant pulsations (Pgs) observed on the ground. Pgs are mostly detected on the morning side with a

Self‐Limiting of Artificial Electron Radiation Belts: Evidence From the Starfish Prime High‐Altitude Nuclear Explosion

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The 1962 Starfish Prime high‐altitude 1.4‐megaton nuclear detonation injected large amounts of fission‐produced energetic electrons into the inner magnetosphere (L = 1.12), creating an intense artificial radiation belt that persisted for years. In this study, we revisit historical data from this unprecedented event to investigate the potential

Improving Geomagnetic Perturbation Forecasts in the Southern Hemisphere via Kernel‐Based Encoding of Mirror Symmetry

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate forecasting of geomagnetic perturbations is essential for assessing space weather risk of geomagnetic activities. Thanks to decades of magnetometer observations from world‐wide distributed networks and upstream solar wind observations at L1, data‐driven modeling of global geomagnetic perturbations has become increasingly feasible ...

Quantitative Assessment of Geographic Control of December Solstice EIA Crest Shifts Over Southeast Asia Under Low Solar Activity

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study quantitatively assesses the drivers of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) morphology and latitudinal shifts over Southeast Asia during the December solstice. We use a 27‐year ionospheric data set (1998–2024) of total electron content (TEC) and F2‐layer peak electron density (NmF2) under geomagnetically quiet conditions.

An Ionospheric Storm Scale Index Based on TEC: Comparative Analysis for China Region

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Defining a standardized ionospheric storm scale is challenging given the ionosphere's inherent complexity and susceptibility to multiple driving factors. In this study, a novel ionospheric storm scale (ISS) index is developed based on statistical analysis of total electron content (TEC) data from 257 ground‐based GNSS stations across China ...

Predicting Geomagnetic Activity in the Ascending and Declining Phases of the Solar Cycle

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Most predictions of space climate, that is, the long‐term behavior of the solar‐terrestrial environment, have focused on forecasting the 11‐year sunspot cycle. Geomagnetic activity, on the other hand, has mainly been predicted in shorter, space weather timescales of up to days to weeks.
