Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Along with magnetic reconnection, Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) waves are the main mechanisms controlling the solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction, enabling plasma transport into the magnetosphere due to secondary reconnection, diffusion and wave‐particle interactions.

Dayside flow bursts and high-latitude reconnection when the IMF is strongly northward [PDF]
, 2006 The characteristics of dayside ionospheric convection are studied using Northern Hemispheric SuperDARN data and DMSP particle and flow observations when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was strongly northward during 13:00–15:00 UT on 2 March 2002.

Anisotropic Kinetic-range Scale Invariant in Near-Sun Collisionless Turbulence
The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate the scale-dependent kurtosis and multifractal properties of magnetic-field increments parallel and perpendicular to the local mean magnetic field using high-cadence Parker Solar Probe measurements of the near-Sun slow solar wind.

Oxygen Pickup Acceleration in the Plasma Mantle Associated With Traveling Flux‐Rope Structures
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract It is well known that, in the high‐altitude cusp and mantle regions, ionospheric‐origin outflowing oxygen (O+) ions are often energized through non‐adiabatic processes, among which cyclotron resonance is considered a major mechanism. Here, based on Cluster observations, we present evidence that pickup acceleration also operates as a non ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract This study demonstrates the intriguing and complex interplay among auroral precipitation, enhanced TEC, density irregularities, and amplitude scintillations observed during the November 2025 superstorm. For the first time, we present observations of strong amplitude scintillation across continental United States (CONUS)—nearly from coast to ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract High‐altitude balloon measurements were conducted over southern Israel (30°35′N, 34°45′E; 850 m a.s.l., geomagnetic rigidity cutoff 10.3 GV) to characterize the vertical profiles of atmospheric ionization and radiation up to ∼35 km. Six balloon launches between October 2014 and August 2016 recorded the variability of atmospheric ionization ...

Regulation of Solar Wind Electron Temperature Anisotropy by Collisions and Instabilities
The Astrophysical JournalTypical solar wind electrons are modeled as being composed of a dense but less energetic thermal “core” population plus a tenuous but energetic “halo” population with varying degrees of temperature anisotropies for both species.

Formation of H+ PUI Tails Downstream of Distant Interplanetary Shocks
The Astrophysical JournalNew Horizons’ Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument has observed interplanetary shocks from ∼20 to 60 au from the Sun. Different studies have analyzed the effects of these shocks on the solar wind ion (SWI) and interstellar pickup ion (PUI ...
