Combined Full Wave and Test Particle Simulations of the Io Footprint in the Jovian Aurora
Abstract It is known that the perturbation of the co‐rotating plasma of Jupiter by Io propagates as Alfvén waves along the magnetic field lines. These waves accelerate electrons, which leads to precipitation and the formation of an auroral footprint on the ionosphere.

Statistical Modeling and Prediction of Ionospheric Equivalent Currents Based on SuperMAG Data
Abstract We present a Solar Wind driven SuperMAG statistical Equivalent Current model (SW‐SMEC), which represents the ionospheric equivalent currents in the Northern Hemisphere. The model is based on average current patterns derived from SuperMAG ground magnetometer data covering the solar cycle 23 (1997–2008).

Large‐Amplitude ExB Plasma Drifts in the High‐Latitude Ionosphere
Abstract We investigate the fastest ExB plasma drifts observed by the Vector Electric Field Instrument double probe experiment on the NASA's Dynamics Explorer‐2 (DE‐2) satellite. In the limited DE‐2 database, we find 507 events where the zonal ExB velocity exceeds 4 km/s, in which for 91 events the velocity exceeds 6 km/s and 16 events where the drifts

Parametric Dependence of Linear and Nonlinear Growth of Whistler‐Mode Chorus Waves
Abstract We calculated the linear and nonlinear growth rates of whistler‐mode chorus waves with relativistic treatment across different wave frequencies and investigated their dependence on the associated parameters, including background magnetic field strength, cold electron density, and energetic electron temperature.

Geoeffectivity of Solar Wind Heavy Ions
Abstract The influence of solar wind properties, such as the southward interplanetary magnetic field, on geomagnetic activity has been well established. However, the role of heavy ions (i.e., particles heavier than protons) in the solar wind on geomagnetic storms is not fully understood.
