The CME link to geomagnetic storms [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009
AbstractThe coronal mass ejection (CME) link to geomagnetic storms stems from the southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field contained in the CME flux ropes and in the sheath between the flux rope and the CME-driven shock. A typical storm-causing CME is characterized by (i) high speed, (ii) large angular width (mostly halos and partial ...

Quantifying Nighttime Gravity Wave‐Driven Mesosphere‐Ionosphere Coupling Over CONUS Using NASA AWE Radiance and GNSS TEC Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract We present the first coordinated study of nighttime mesosphere‐ionosphere coupling over the continental United States (CONUS) from January through November 2024 using NASA Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) airglow measurements near 87 km and GNSS Total Electron Content observations near 300 km.

Quasi‐Homologous Solar Flares and Impacts on Thermospheric Density and Satellite Orbital Drag

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Quasi‐Homologous Flaring (QHF) activity from active regions on the Sun releases intense electromagnetic radiation in recurrent bursts over extended periods. In this letter, we present the effects of recurrent impulsive extreme ultraviolet (EUV) heating on thermospheric neutral density and the resulting atmospheric drag on satellites based on ...

Local Acceleration of Multi‐MeV Electrons Inside Earth's Impenetrable Barrier During the May 2024 Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The inner radiation belt (L* < 3) has long been considered an impenetrable barrier to ultra‐relativistic electrons. Here we show that this barrier can be breached under extreme space weather conditions. Using continuous near‐equatorial observations from the Arase satellite, we show that the May 2024 superstorm rapidly generated multi‐MeV ...

Ionospheric effetcs of an intense geomagnetic storm

Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica, 2007
An investigation of the response of the mid-high, mid and low latitude critical frequency foF2 to the geomagnetic storm of 15 July 2000 is made. Ground-based hourly foF2 values (proportional to square root of peak electron density of F2-layer) from four chains of ionospheric stations located in the geographic longitude ranges 10°W–35°E, 60°E–120°E, 130°

Solar cycle phase and occurrence of intense geomagnetic storms

Earth, Planets and Space
Solar cycles have an asymmetrical shape with a fast rise and a slow decline, which varies from cycle to cycle. This makes it difficult to study the solar cycle phase dependence of the occurrence of intense solar-terrestrial events such as intense ...

First Observation of Four‐Band Ion Cyclotron Whistlers

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Ion cyclotron whistlers are frequently observed in low Earth orbit, typically formed when right‐hand polarized lightning whistlers undergo polarization reversal at crossover frequencies. In this study, we for the first time report a four‐band ion cyclotron whistler event detected by Van Allen Probe A.

Cosmogenic 10Be as a Tracer for Recent Heliospheric Encounters With Interstellar Cold Clouds and Nearby Supernovae

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Recent works suggest there are periods when the Sun encountered massive interstellar cold clouds which compressed the heliosphere to within Earth's orbit, exposing Earth to interstellar galactic cosmic rays and energetic particles of heliospheric origin.

Investigation of the geomagnetic storms’ impact on low-latitude ionosphere: case studies of October 2003 and March 2015 events

Proceedings of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences
Geomagnetic storms can significantly impact the Earth's upper atmosphere known as the ionosphere used for communication and navigation, particularly at low latitudes.

Unusual Enhancement in He(23S) Airglow Brightness Associated With Interplanetary Magnetic Field Northward Turnings During the 2025 New Year's Day Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract The upper thermosphere is important in the context of space weather, but continuous monitoring of the thermosphere at high latitudes remains limited despite its strong variations associated with geomagnetic activity. Orthohelium, He(23S), is found from the upper thermosphere to lower exosphere, and is a promising tracer of atmospheric dynamics.
