A New Model of Cutoff Latitude for Solar Energetic Protons Based on the Partial Least Squares Method
Abstract Solar energetic particle (SEP) events can cause space weather hazards, especially at high altitudes and in the polar regions. Therefore, it is important to determine the boundaries that SEPs with different energies/rigidities can access and impact. In this work, we develop a new model of cutoff latitude for solar energetic protons covering the

Abstract The Upper Transition Height (UTH) is a critical parameter for understanding topside ionosphere dynamics. This study evaluates the UTH performance of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model using the TBT15 ion composition option and compares it against a dedicated UTH model developed from the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecast ...

Abstract The 10–13 May 2024 geomagnetic storm was one of the strongest space‐weather events of Solar Cycle 25 and produced a major expansion of the thermosphere, substantially increasing atmospheric drag on low‐Earth‐orbit spacecraft. In this study, we quantify the storm‐time orbital response of TRISAT, Slovenia's first 3U CubeSat, using publicly ...

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

Abstract The classical Equatorial Ionization Anomaly (EIA) is characterized by two separated plasma accumulation regions off the geomagnetic equator and a plasma depletion region in between. Deviations from the typical double‐crest structure, including the single crest and multiple crests, have been observed.

Performance Investigation of Four Ionospheric Models in Estimating hmF2 in High‐Latitude Regions
Abstract As a critical parameter characterizing the vertical structure of the ionosphere, the peak height of the F2 layer (hmF2) plays an essential role in frequency selection and signal propagation in high‐frequency (HF) communication systems. Accurate prediction of hmF2 is particularly important in high‐latitude regions.
