Abstract This study presents a detailed case study of the ionospheric impacts of moderate (G2) and severe (G4) geomagnetic storms over the Latin American sector, with particular emphasis on the formation and suppression of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs).

Simultaneous in-situ observations of the signature of dayside reconnection at the high and low latitude magnetopause [PDF]
We present magnetic field and particle data recorded by the Cluster and Geotail satellites in the vicinity of the high- and low-latitude dayside magnetopause, re- spectively, on 17 February 2003. A favourable conjunction of these spacecraft culminated in

Terrestrial Space Weather Protection Through Human‐Produced Mass‐Loading
Abstract While humans become more reliant on Earth's space environment, the potential for significant harm from severe space weather continues to grow. As structures from the sun reach Earth's magnetosphere and space environment, they deposit energy that fuels geomagnetic storms.

Basic Pattern of Three-dimensional Magnetic Reconnection within Strongly Turbulent Current Sheets
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental mechanism of driving eruptive phenomena of different scales and may be coupled with turbulence as suggested by recent remote-sensing and in situ observations.

Modulation of dayside reconnection during northward interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]
peer reviewedOn 17 September 2000 the IMF was directed continuously northward for more than 3 hours. Density fluctuations in the solar wind resulted in quasiperiodic variations in the solar wind dynamic pressure, and correlated fluctuations also occurred

Abstract The objective of the present study is to investigate solar wind‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling (SWMIC) under intense external driving in terms of dayside ground magnetic disturbances. Dayside magnetic reconnection drives a region‐1 sense current system, the SWMIC current system.

Current sheets at three-dimensional magnetic nulls:effect of compressibility [PDF]
The nature of current sheet formation in the vicinity of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic null points is investigated. The particular focus is upon the effect of the compressibility of the plasma on the qualitative and quantitative properties of the ...

Ion Anisotropy in Earth's Magnetotail: Importance of High‐Energy Ions
Abstract The reconfiguration of the magnetotail current sheet during substorms often includes the formation of a thin current sheet (TCS) with a strong magnetic field line tension force. This force cannot be balanced by isotropic plasma pressure gradients, and force balance in such a TCS requires ion anisotropy and/or agyrotropy of plasma pressure.

Magnetic reconnection as the driving factor behind high-mass protostellar luminosity flares
Magnetic reconnection, a critical process in astrophysical luminosity outbursts like solar flares, may also underpin such events in high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs).

The investigation of quasi-separatrix layers in solar magnetic fields
The structure of the magnetic field is often an important factor in many energetic processes in the solar corona. To determine the topology of the magnetic field features such as null points, separatrix surfaces, and separators must be found.
