Reflections on geomagnetic reversals.
Several investigators have noted that the Earth's magnetic dipole has been decreasing during the last century. Some have indicated that if the trend continues the dipole would be zero within a few thousand years, indicating that a reversal was occurring. Few if any take such suggestions seriously because of the weakness of the conditional if clause. An

Abstract In paleomagnetism, records of paleosecular variation (PSV) on centennial timescales are often based on magnetic measurements from lava flows. However, samples from recent flows that cooled in known magnetic fields often fail to produce the expected paleomagnetic directions, and samples from the same flow often show large within‐ and between ...

Possible configurations of the magnetic field in the outer magnetosphere during geomagnetic polarity reversals [PDF]
Possible configurations of the magnetic field in the outer magnetosphere during geomagnetic polarity reversals are investigated by considering the idealized problem of a magnetic multipole of order m and degree n located at the centre of a spherical ...

Abstract The northern extent of Greater India is a critical, yet highly debated, parameter for reconstructing the India‐Asia collision. Previous paleomagnetic estimates, including the fill‐the‐gap and fixed great circle approaches, yield widely varying results, spanning from ∼200 to ∼3,000 km. These large discrepancies stem principally from two primary

A comparison between large‐scale irregularities and scintillations in the polar ionosphere
A comparison tool has been developed by mapping the global GPS total electron content (TEC) and large coverage of ionospheric scintillations together on the geomagnetic latitude/magnetic local time coordinates. Using this tool, a comparison between large‐

The South Atlantic Anomaly: the key for a possible geomagnetic reversal
The South Atlantic Anomaly is nowadays one of the most important features of the Earth’s magnetic field. Its extent area at the Earth’s surface is continuously growing since the intensity instrumental measurements are available covering part of the ...

Abstract This study examines the equatorial ionospheric response over the South American sector during the onset of the extreme 2024 Mother's Day geomagnetic storm, which began at ∼17 UT on 10 May and reached the G5 level. Pronounced disturbances in ionospheric electrodynamics were observed under both daytime and nighttime conditions. Variations in the

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 ...

Paleosecular Variation Constraints on Geomagnetic Field Morphology at ca. 1100 Ma
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

Abstract We study the development of the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) along the dusk dayside Earth's magnetopause with and without the presence of enhanced plasma density at the shear interface. Using three‐dimensional MAGE global simulations, we establish general KHI growth rate diagrams, which depend sensitively on the transverse profiles of ...
