Abstract Precise characterization of the electron density profile is crucial for optimizing high frequency communications. Reconstruction models often assume an instantaneous ionospheric response to solar forcing or using time delays, neglecting the time‐integrated cumulative “memory effect” of plasma dynamics.

Abstract Large‐scale wave structure (LSWS) and the post‐sunset rise (PSSR) are two key factors in the generation of equatorial spread F (ESF). In this study, we reported continuous and direct observations of LSWS and PSSR and their effects on seeding ESF by Sanya incoherent scatter radar (SYISR) and ionosonde in September–October 2024.

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 ...

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 ...

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms
Abstract Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} $D=\max \left\{-Dst\right\}$ to the storm main‐phase maximum duskward interplanetary electric field E $E$.

Abstract The causal relationships between solar wind dynamic pressure and Electromagnetic Ion‐Cyclotron (EMIC) H+ ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$, He+ ${\mathrm{H}\mathrm{e}}^{+}$, O+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{+}$ waves at L=3−6 $L=3-6$ are investigated with transfer entropy at short (<15 ${< } 15$ min) and long (>45 ${ >} 45$ min) timescales. The short timescale responses of

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 ...

Abstract We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS‐2 orbits through the northern low‐altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS‐2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and sunward convection, consistent with magnetopause reconnection tailward of the cusp during this northward IMF interval.

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Initial Phase of Geomagnetic Storms
Abstract Using simultaneous magnetic field observations from 10 satellites and an automated detection algorithm, we identify broad regions of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave activity during the initial phases of geomagnetic storms between September 2015 and October 2019.

Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.
