Convective Amplification of Ionospheric Feedback by a Finite‐Duration Inertial Alfvén‐Wave Source
Abstract We investigate the ionospheric feedback instability (IFI) driven by a finite‐duration localized source of inertial Alfvén waves. Wave‐excited conductance perturbations undergo Pedersen mobility drift in the convection and wave electric fields and are amplified.

Local Generation of Plasmaspheric Plume Hiss
Abstract The statistical analysis of hiss waves observed in the plasmaspheric plume (Wu et al., 2026, https://doi.org/10.1029/2026gl121667) is significant for identifying nonlinear wave growth processes in the equatorial region. Because nonlinear growth rates greatly exceed linear growth rates, they enable the local generation of new wave packets in ...

Meter‐Scale Roughness of the Lunar Surface
Abstract Small‐scale surface roughness is a key indicator of local geological processes, yet it has not previously been mapped globally on the Moon. We present global meter‐scale surface roughness maps generated from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter pulses, which record information about surface undulations within the instrument's ∼5 m individual ...

Abstract Recent works suggest there are periods when the Sun encountered massive interstellar cold clouds which compressed the heliosphere to within Earth's orbit, exposing Earth to interstellar galactic cosmic rays and energetic particles of heliospheric origin.

Abstract Ultra‐low‐frequency waves in the magnetosphere often produce field line resonances with strong spatial gradients in wave amplitude. We analyze a form of drift resonance driven by these gradients near the resonant field line. This mechanism differs fundamentally from conventional gradient‐ and curvature‐driven drift resonance and predicts an ...
