The variable source of the plasma sheet during a geomagnetic storm

Nature Communications, 2023
Both solar wind and ionospheric sources contribute to the magnetotail plasma sheet, but how their contribution changes during a geomagnetic storm is an open question.

Global Wind Field Reconstruction in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) During Geomagnetic Storms by Fusing TIDI and SABER Data: A Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) Approach

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
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.

Observing the Earth's Plasmasphere and Ionosphere From the Lunar Surface

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We present the analysis of the first lunar‐based observational characterization of the Earth's plasmasphere and ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals tracked from the lunar surface by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE). The Earth‐Moon geometry enables limb sounding of the plasmasphere at altitudes exceeding 3,000

Large‐Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances Over the Asian‐Pacific Sector During 10–11 May 2024 Geomagnetic Superstorm: Ionosonde Observation and MAGE Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The large‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (LSTIDs) over the Asian‐Pacific sector during the 10–11 May 2024 superstorm are investigated using ionosonde observation and simulation from a whole geospace model—Multiscale Atmosphere Geospace Environment (MAGE), which fully couples multiple magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere models.

Impact of Solar Irradiance on Low-Earth-Orbit Satellite Orbital Decay During Geomagnetic Storm

Aerospace
In recent years, with the rapid expansion of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, the orbital decay of LEO satellites caused by atmospheric heating from solar irradiance and geomagnetic activity has become increasingly prominent.

Global Observational Comparison of Large‐Scale Traveling Atmospheric and Ionospheric Disturbances During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract During the geomagnetic storm on 10 May 2024, neutral density measurements from 14 Tianmu, Swarm, and GRACE‐FO satellites at ∼510 km altitude, combined with total electron content (TEC) observations, enabled the first global observational comparison of large‐scale traveling atmospheric and ionospheric disturbances (LSTADs/TIDs) via snapshots ...

The Drag of Ionosphere Plasma Drifts on Thermospheric Zonal Winds During the 10–12 May 2024 Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The observations from GRACE‐FO and DMSP satellites are utilized to analyze the ion‐neutral interaction near dusk during the 10–12 May 2024 super‐storm. The horizontal plasma convection dragged the anti‐sunward wind in the polar cap and sunward winds around the auroral and subauroral regions during whole storm times.

Unexpected major geomagnetic storm caused by faint eruption of a solar trans-equatorial flux rope

Nature Communications
Some geomagnetic storms’ solar origins are ambiguous, making them hard to predict. On March 23, 2023, a severe geomagnetic storm occurred, however, forecasts based on remote-sensing observations failed to predict it.

Probabilistic prediction of geomagnetic storms and the Kp index

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2020
Geomagnetic activity is often described using summary indices to summarize the likelihood of space weather impacts, as well as when parameterizing space weather models. The geomagnetic index K p in particular, is widely used for these purposes. Current

First Observation of the Second Harmonic of Upper Band Chorus Waves Linking to Slow Z‐Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Z‐mode, comprising fast and slow branches, is a ubiquitous electromagnetic wave in planetary magnetospheres. While fast Z‐mode generation is attributed to electron cyclotron maser instability, the slow Z‐mode mechanism remains unresolved.
