Turbulence development behind the bow shock during disturbed and undisturbed solar wind

Solar-Terrestrial Physics
Magnetosheath is a transition layer between the solar wind and the magnetosphere and may contribute to the geoeffectiveness of various large-scale interplanetary phenomena.

Radial evolution of power spectra of interplanetary Alfvénic turbulence [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1982
The radial evolution of the power spectra of the MHD turbulence within the trailing edge of high‐speed streams in the solar wind has been investigated with the magnetic field data of HELIOS 1 and 2 for heliocentric distances between 0.3 and 0.9 AU. In the analyzed frequency range 2.8 · 10−4 ‐ 8.3 · 10−2 Hz the computed spectra have, near the earth ...

Non-universality of the Turbulent Spectra at Sub-ion Scales in the Solar Wind: Dispersive Effects versus the Doppler Shift

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Large surveys of the power spectral density of the magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind have reported different slope distributions at MHD, sub-ion and sub-electron scales: the smaller the scale, the broader the distribution.

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 ...

Observations of Waves and Structures by Frequency–Wavenumber Spectrum in Solar Wind Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A well-known shortcoming of single-spacecraft spectral analysis is that only the 1D wavenumber spectrum can be observed, assuming the characteristic wave propagation speed is much smaller than the solar wind flow speed.

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.

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} $D=\max \left\{-Dst\right\}$ to the storm main‐phase maximum duskward interplanetary electric field E $E$.

Turbulence and Polytropic Changes across Interplanetary Shocks Observed by the Parker Solar Probe

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Interplanetary shocks play a critical role in solar wind dynamics, influencing the properties of turbulence and thermodynamic processes. In this study, we statistically analyze changes in turbulence characteristics and polytropic indices across 37 quasi ...
