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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Impacts of E‐Region Neutral Wind Shear on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles: SAMI3 Simulations Including Metal Ions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The vertical shear of horizontal neutral winds plays an important role in forming dense metallic layers in the E region. Previous studies suggest that metal ion layers may inhibit equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) development by enhancing E‐region Pedersen conductivity.

Drivers of F‐Region Ionosphere Tidal Variability Caused by the Madden Julian Oscillation: Separating E‐Region Dynamo and Field‐Aligned Wind Effects

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), a recurring intraseasonal (30–96 days) disturbance in the troposphere, strongly influences the E‐region and F‐region ionosphere through its modulation of atmospheric tides. Among these, the diurnal eastward wave number 3 (DE3) tide, driven by MJO‐modulated latent heating, carries MJO signals upward into the

Ionospheric Vertical Plasma Drifts Over South America: Long‐Term Multi‐Instrument Observations and TIEGCM and WACCM‐X Evaluations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present the first comprehensive multi‐instrument climatological study of quiet‐time equatorial F‐region vertical plasma drifts across South America, a region where the magnetic declination angle varies significantly. Our analysis of well‐established long‐term ground‐based data sets from the Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar spanning 1968 ...

HIWIND Observation of Daytime Thermospheric Winds Over New Zealand and Comparison With Model Simulation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract A balloon borne Fabry Perot interferometer called High altitude Interferometer WIND observation (HIWIND) flew from Wanaka, New Zealand (44.69S, 169.14E) in April 2025 to observe mid‐latitude thermospheric winds in the southern hemisphere for the first time.

Magnetotail Source of Premidnight Upward Field‐Aligned Currents: Nature of the Substorm Current System

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The substorm current wedge constitutes the backbone of the substorm current system. Its field‐aligned current components include an upward current in the premidnight sector and a downward current in the midnight‐morning sector, which connect the auroral ionosphere to the magnetotail.

Comparative Dynamics of Substorms and Sawtooth Events

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive comparative analysis of magnetospheric substorms and sawtooth events using multi‐point observations from ground‐based magnetometers, geostationary satellites, and the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms mission.
