The Ionosphere as an Operational Constraint on Space‐Based Solar Power

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract This commentary argues that there is an urgent need to develop a scientific consensus on how microwave beams from space‐based solar power (SBSP) satellites will interact with plasma in the ionosphere. Whilst the SBSP concept dates back to the 1970s, it is now gaining traction around the world as a technology that could contribute baseline ...

Iono‐PhyTAU: A Lightweight Global Ionospheric TEC Prediction Model Based on Temporal Attention Unit and Physical Condition Constraints of the Ionosphere

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) is the primary error source causing signal delay in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). High‐precision TEC prediction is essential for positioning, navigation, and space weather monitoring. Although deep learning models including ConvLSTM, ConvGRU, and Transformer have advanced TEC forecasting ...

Statistical Study on the Effect of Meridional Neutral Wind on the Occurrence of Post‐Sunset Equatorial Ionospheric Irregularities

open access: yesSpace Weather
The navigation and radio communication systems experience significant disruptions due to post‐sunset equatorial ionospheric irregularities. There is ongoing debate regarding the impact of meridional/trans‐equatorial wind speed on these irregularities ...

Long‐Lived Equatorial Plasma Bubbles Persisting Into the Afternoon Over the Pacific Sector During the Recovery Phase of the April 2023 Geomagnetic Storm

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) are typically nighttime ionospheric irregularities, and their persistence into daytime sectors remains insufficiently understood. Here, we investigate long‐lived EPB‐related plasma depletion structures over the Pacific sector during the recovery phase of the 23–25 April 2023 geomagnetic storm using Formosa ...

The Impacts of Zonal and Meridional Winds on the Observed Occurrence Rate of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Post‐sunset equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) formation is believe to be influenced by factors including thermospheric neutral winds. This study characterizes pre‐sunset neutral winds observed by ICON on EPB occurrences observed by GOLD over the east Atlantic.

Power Spectral Characteristics of Martian Ionospheric Irregularities

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The intrinsic magnetic field of a planet plays a key role in its ionospheric dynamics. Mars lacks a global magnetic field, thus ionospheric plasma is weakly coupled to crustal and induced magnetic field.

Drifting Ionospheric Scintillation Simulation for L-Band Geosynchronous SAR

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
An L-band geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar (GEO SAR) is susceptible to the ionospheric scintillation induced by ionospheric irregularities due to its lower carrier frequency.

HF Heating Effects as Seen From Below and Above: First Results of Joint SURA–Ionosfera‐M Experiment

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract This paper presents the first results of a coordinated experiment on the ionospheric plasma response to high‐frequency (HF) overdense heating, conducted using the SURA heating facility and the Ionosfera‐M satellite. The experiment combined ground‐based observations with in situ satellite measurements, enabling a comprehensive study of ...

Post‐Sunset Merging of Equatorial Ionization Anomaly Crests Into a Single Peak Over ∼35° Longitude During the 19 January 2026 Geomagnetic Superstorm

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract We investigate the nighttime equatorial ionosphere during the 19 January 2026 geomagnetic storm using Global‐scale Observations of the Limb and Disk OI 135.6 nm observations and ground‐based GPS Total Electron Content. The observations reveal a pronounced longitudinal asymmetry in the post‐sunset equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA).
