Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...

Ray Tracing Method in a General Non‐Dipole Magnetic Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a new general mathematical formulation of the Eikonal equations for ray tracing, which can use any internal magnetic field model. The analytical and tractable expressions are conveniently based on a vector formalism, which is independent of any coordinate system.

Low Frequency Extensions of Cyclotron Maser Instability‐Generated Radio Emission: A Statistical View From Cassini at Saturn

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cassini spacecraft spent 13 years orbiting Saturn, quasi‐continuously measuring Saturn's radio emissions. One of the key elements of the radio spectrum at Saturn is the Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR), and several studies have been written on events called Low Frequency Extensions (LFEs) which represent strong, continuous extensions of ...

A case study of large-amplitude ULF waves in the Martian foreshock

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020
Foreshock ultralow frequency (ULF) waves constitute a significant physical phenomenon in the plasma environment of terrestrial planets. The occurrence of these waves, associated with backstreaming particles reflected and accelerated at the bow shock ...

An Ionospheric Storm Scale Index Based on TEC: Comparative Analysis for China Region

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Defining a standardized ionospheric storm scale is challenging given the ionosphere's inherent complexity and susceptibility to multiple driving factors. In this study, a novel ionospheric storm scale (ISS) index is developed based on statistical analysis of total electron content (TEC) data from 257 ground‐based GNSS stations across China ...

Variability of dB/dt in the African Sector During Solar Cycle 24—Implications for Geomagnetically Induced Currents

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This paper quantitatively characterizes dB/dt peaks at four African equatorial‐ and low‐latitude stations, along latitudinal and local‐time gradients across different phases of selected geomagnetic storms. We investigate dB/dt response for intense geomagnetic storms, Dst ≤ −100 nT observed during solar cycle 24 over four stations in the ...

TRACERS Small‐Scale Field‐Aligned Currents and Intense GPS Amplitude and Phase Scintillations in the Nightside Auroral Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We present conjugate observations of ionospheric small‐scale magnetic perturbations (dB) $(dB)$ and GPS scintillations from the Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) and the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) during a storm‐time substorm on 9 August 2025 in the nightside auroral region ...

Three-stage Acceleration of Solar Energetic Particles Detected by Parker Solar Probe

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) drive powerful shocks and thereby accelerate solar energetic particles (SEPs) as they propagate from the corona into interplanetary space.

Pre‐Existing Plasmaspheric Density Structure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We perform a basic model experiment: we run two nearly identical plasmapause simulations, differing only by their initial conditions. The first run contains initial fine‐scale and mesoscale structure, and the second run is initialized with a featureless, circular plasmapause.
