Unraveling the Fine‐Scale Tapestry of Solar Wind at 1AU

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Solar wind is a complex network of distinct magnetic flux tubes, each contained and separated by a current sheet. In this study, more than 50,000 current sheets in the solar wind are identified and characterized for the first time, using multi‐point Cluster observations during solar minimum and maximum intervals.

Interplay of Large-scale Drift and Turbulence in the Heliospheric Propagation of Solar Energetic Particles

The Astrophysical Journal
The gradient and curvature of the Parker spiral interplanetary magnetic field give rise to curvature and gradient guiding-center drifts on cosmic rays (CRs). The plasma turbulence present in interplanetary space is thought to suppress the drifts; however,

The Influence of Magnetic Turbulence on the Energetic Particle Transport Upstream of Shock Waves

Atmosphere, 2021
Energetic particles are ubiquitous in the interplanetary space and their transport properties are strongly influenced by the interaction with magnetic field fluctuations.

MMS Observations of the Energetic Particles Within Kelvin‐Helmholtz Waves at the Boundary of the 10 May 2024 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.

Interplanetary Tracking of the 23 March 2024 CME: Computer Tomographic Analyses of IPS, White‐Light, and Type II Radio Burst Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We analyze the propagation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) observed on 23 March 2024, at 01:25 UT by SOHO/LASCO using a multi‐instrument and multi‐method approach. The study combines Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS), type II radio bursts, white‐light, in‐situ observations, and 3D tomographic reconstruction of the inner heliospheric density.

Heliospheric Diffusion of Stochastic Parker Spirals in Radially Evolving Solar Wind Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal
 We present a stochastic field line mapping model where the interplanetary magnetic field lines are described by a density distribution function satisfying a Fokker–Planck equation that is solved numerically.

The UK Met Office’s Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) Ensemble Prediction System

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We describe the 24‐member Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) ensemble prediction system that is used operationally at the UK's Met Office Space Weather Operations Center (MOSWOC) to forecast the arrival time of CMEs at Earth. The ensemble system was built on ad‐hoc assumptions and there is the need to investigate whether the technique can be improved

Soft Proton Environment Modeling for SMILE Using XGBoost and Solar Cycle–Informed Synthetic Data Sets

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Soft proton contamination presents a persistent threat to the performance of space‐based X‐ray observatories such as ESA's upcoming Solar‐wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE). This study develops a machine‐learning framework for modeling soft proton fluxes in the 92.2–159.7 keV range, tailored to SMILE's elliptical, highly ...

A Fokker–Planck Framework for Studying the Variability of the Magnetic Field Direction in the Alfvénic Streams of the Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Turbulent rotations of the magnetic field vector are observed in the Alfvénic streams of the solar wind where the magnetic field strength remains close to a constant. They can lead to reversals of the radial magnetic field component or switchbacks. It is

Quasi‐Periodic X‐Ray Variations at BARREL: Role of Electron Precipitation and Solar Wind Driving

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Balloon Array for Radiation belt Relativistic Electron Losses (BARREL) mission was designed to study the loss of radiation belt electrons to the upper atmosphere. Previous analysis of data from balloon pairs showed that electron precipitation events manifest coherent quasi‐periodic variations (with periodicity on the order of 10–60 min ...
