Green Emissions of Atomic Oxygen at Sprite Tops Explained
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Green emissions from excited Oxygen in Sprite Tops (GhOSTs) are due to the 557 nm photons emitted from atomic oxygen (O) $(\mathrm{O})$ excited to the 1S state. In this work we compare the possible contribution of various mechanisms for excitation of O(S1) $\mathrm{O}({}^{1}S)$ under application of a lightning‐induced electric field to the ...

Open Magnetic Field Lines Partition Auroral Oval Segments Into Transpolar Arcs
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Transpolar arcs (TPAs) are auroral structures spanning the polar cap. One type appears in conjugate hemispheres and is thought to be located on closed field lines, but how closed flux enters the open polar cap remains debated. We address this using observation and simulation of conjugate TPAs after an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Geomagnetic disturbances in polar regions can be decomposed into two main patterns: the Disturbance Polar (DP) 1 and 2. How their relative contribution reshapes global current system remains unclear. In this study, we classified substorms from 2010 to 2022 into weak and strong DP‐2 events based on the ratio of the eastward to westward auroral ...

Sub‐MeV Electron Precipitation Driven by EMIC Waves: New Insights From CIRBE/REPTile‐2 Measurements
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are recognized as a key driver of relativistic (>1 MeV) electron loss in Earth's magnetosphere. Growing evidence also suggests that EMIC wave can efficiently scatter sub‐MeV electrons, although the precise energy range and the underlying physical mechanisms remain debated.

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.This review surveys eukaryotic cilia as putative quantum‐enabled sensory and regulatory centers. It highlights their multifaceted roles in the cell, focuses on the nontrivial roles of quantum mechanics in their membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, and introduces the essential building blocks enabling quantum properties to survive in the warm, wet, and ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

The United States Magnetotelluric Array and the National Impedance Map
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract The United States Magnetotelluric Array (USMTArray) data set, collected in the years 2006–2024, consists of more than 1,700 long‐period magnetotelluric stations covering the entirety of the contiguous United States on a quasi‐regular 70 km grid.

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) is a nightsky optical phenomenon of great research interest in recent years. STEVE is recognized to be co‐located with a latitudinally narrow channel of fast westward ion drifts, also known as “subauroral ion drifts” (SAID).

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract The afternoon detached auroral arc is an important phenomenon in the subauroral region, reflecting coupling processes between the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Previous studies have not identified fine‐scale structures in such arcs, leaving the dynamics underlying their formation poorly understood.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract A local vortex‐structured aurora and a large‐scale transpolar arc (TPA) were contemporaneously observed by the Polar ultraviolet imager (UVI) during the late recovery phase of a substorm, and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) BY and BZ were negative and negative‐to‐positive. The TPA grew along the dawnside auroral oval from the nightside
