Beyond Mean Solar Wind Conditions: Turbulence‐Aware Forecasting of the AE Index

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The auroral electrojet (AE) index is a key indicator of high latitude geomagnetic activity and is widely used in operational space weather monitoring, yet forecasting AE from upstream solar wind conditions remains challenging due to nonlinear coupling, internal magnetospheric dynamics, and multiscale variability.

Frequency‐Dependent Acoustic Reflection Coefficients of Flat Ground Assessed Using the Sonic Boom From the OSIRIS‐Rex Sample Return Capsule Recorded on Free Flying Balloons

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Low frequency sound can travel great distances in planetary atmospheres. When these waves reflect off the air/ground interface, energy may be absorbed or transferred to mechanical waves in the subsurface. This study describes the direct and reflected acoustic wave generated by the re‐entry of the OSIRIS‐REx Sample Return Capsule captured on a ...

Observing the Earth's Plasmasphere and Ionosphere From the Lunar Surface

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We present the analysis of the first lunar‐based observational characterization of the Earth's plasmasphere and ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals tracked from the lunar surface by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE). The Earth‐Moon geometry enables limb sounding of the plasmasphere at altitudes exceeding 3,000

A Novel Blast Wave Solution for the Propagation of Coronal And Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their associated shock waves have severe space weather effects in the near-Earth space. Therefore, predicting the propagation and arrival time of the CME/shock is an important component of the space weather forecast.

The θBn problem: Determination of local magnetic parameters of interplanetary shocks from in situ IMF data [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 2001
The angle θBn is the angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal direction and is important for many phenomena in interplanetary physics.

Low Density Drivers of Strong Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996
AbstractThe theory that most, if not all, interplanetary shocks are caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) faces serious problems in accounting for the strongest shocks. The difficulties include (i) a remarkable absence of very strong shocks during solar maximum 1980 when CMEs were prolific, (ii) unrealistic initial speeds near the Sun for impulsive ...

Mercury's Alfvén Wing Current System Under Sub‐Alfvénic Solar Wind Conditions: Insights From Global MHD Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Mercury's proximity to the Sun results in the lowest average Alfvénic Mach number in the upstream solar wind compared to any other planet. Under extreme conditions, the upstream Alfvén speed can exceed the solar wind speed, resulting in a sub‐Alfvénic interaction in which standing Alfvén wings form.

Ion‐Acoustic Waves Associated With Interplanetary Shocks

Geophysical Research Letters
AbstractIon‐acoustic waves (IAWs) commonly occur near interplanetary (IP) shocks. These waves are important because of their potential role in the dissipation required for collisionless shocks to exist. We study IAW occurrence statistically at different heliocentric distances using Solar Orbiter to identify the processes responsible for IAW generation ...

Mercury's Eccentric Orbit as a Driver of Significant “Seasonal” Change in Upstream Solar Wind Forcing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Mercury experiences the most intense and variable solar wind (SW) conditions in the solar system due to its close, eccentric orbit about the Sun. In addition to variation driven by coronal source and solar cycle, the SW arriving at Mercury varies periodically as the planet's heliocentric distance changes by over 50% per orbit.

Automatic Identification of Interplanetary Shocks Based on Machine Learning

Space Weather
Fast forward interplanetary shocks (FFs) are one of the primary drivers of space weather events. This study presents an automated detection algorithm for FFs based on a multilayer perceptron model, utilizing in situ measurements of interplanetary ...
