The Role of Downward Plasma Diffusion in the Ionospheric Nighttime Weddell Sea Anomaly
Abstract This study investigates the role of downward plasma diffusion in the ionospheric nighttime Weddell Sea Anomaly (WSA), characterized by an anomalous diurnal electron density peak in nighttime from the South Pacific to South America. Traditionally attributed to prolonged photoionization and ionospheric uplift during summer, the WSA is not ...

Solar Terminator Waves Revealed as Dominant Features of Upper Thermospheric Density
Abstract Observations of solar terminator waves (STWs) in thermospheric mass density (TMD) measurements above 500 km reveal STWs as dominant features of the upper thermosphere. While previous investigations have shown that STWs in the middle‐lower thermosphere have amplitudes on the order of 6%–8% of the background TMD in that region, this study shows ...

Nonlinear Proton Dynamics in the Formation of Rising‐Tone EMIC Wave Subpackets
Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are commonly observed in the Earth's magnetosphere and play a significant role in regulating relativistic electron fluxes. The waveform of EMIC waves comprises amplitude‐modulated wave packets, known as “subpackets.” Despite their prevalence, the underlying physics and associated particle dynamics for

Abstract This manuscript utilizes the global survey of electron precipitation due to chorus and hiss waves based on waves and electron flux measurements made by Van Allen Probes. To analyze the loss‐cone precipitation presented in these papers, we compared electron energy fluxes and their mean energies entering the ionospheric altitudes on the global ...
