Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Coupling in the Northern Polar Region During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Superstorm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The May 2024 superstorm, as the most intense geomagnetic storm since 2003, caused a variety of disturbances in the magnetosphere‐ionosphere‐thermosphere system. This study investigates the long‐lasting electron density depletion in the polar region and the underlying ionosphere‐thermosphere coupling, based on a comprehensive set of ...

Poleward Disturbances in Thermospheric Winds During the 3–4 November 2021 Geomagnetic Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This study focuses on ionosphere‐thermosphere coupling over North America during the 3–4 November 2021 strong geomagnetic storm (Kp 8−). We comprehensively analyze storm‐time ionospheric and thermospheric disturbances using data from ground‐based instruments at Poker Flat, Millstone Hill, and Urbana, as well as satellite observations and model

Suprathermal H+ Pickup Ion Tails in the Outer Heliosphere

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
This study provides a detailed analysis of five distant interplanetary shocks observed by the Solar Wind Around Pluto instrument on board New Horizons, which exhibit the signature of a suprathermal H ^+ pickup ion (PUI) tail in the downstream ...

GeV Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares and Ground Level Enhancement (GLE) Events

, 2011
{\sl Ground Level Enhancement (GLE)} events represent the largest class of {\sl solar energetic particle (SEP)} events that require acceleration processes to produce $\gapprox 1$ GeV ions in order to produce showers of secondary particles in the Earth's ...

A New Method for Probabilistic Spatiotemporal Forecasts of Solar Soft X‐Ray “S‐Class” (>X10) Superflares

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Solar superflares of S‐class (>X10 in soft X‐rays) pose extreme space weather hazards, yet their prediction remains a fundamental challenge owing to their rapid and transient natures and the limitations of conventional event‐based forecasts. We introduce for the first time, a probabilistic spatiotemporal framework designed to identify extended

Galactic Cosmic Ray Ionization on Uranus; Geomagnetic Latitude Dependencies

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) are a major source of atmospheric ionization, influencing ion abundance, aerosol formation, and electrical processes. GCR‐induced effects are expected to be more pronounced on Uranus than planets closer to the Sun for two reasons; reduced solar irradiance, and weaker solar modulation of incident GCR.

Particle acceleration at coronal mass ejection–driven interplanetary shocks and the Earth's bow shock [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2008
Particle acceleration in space plasmas, particularly at collisionless shocks, remains a fundamental yet poorly understood problem in space physics. The most important questions that need to be addressed include (1) where are the particles accelerated, (2) what source material is available for acceleration, (3) what mechanisms are responsible for ...
