Contemporaneous Appearances of Auroral Spiral and Transpolar Arc: Polar UVI Observations and Global MHD Simulations

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract A local vortex‐structured aurora and a large‐scale transpolar arc (TPA) were contemporaneously observed by the Polar ultraviolet imager (UVI) during the late recovery phase of a substorm, and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) BY and BZ were negative and negative‐to‐positive. The TPA grew along the dawnside auroral oval from the nightside

A linear perturbation analysis of magnetopause motion in the Newton-Busemann limit [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1995
The response of the magnetopause surface to time-varying solar wind dynamic pressure is examined. We argue that to a first approximation the magnetopause surface may be considered as analogous to an elastic membrane. Upon displacement from equilibrium

Influence of Solar Sails on Magnetic Field Measurements in Space Plasmas

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Solar sail technology is ready to be deployed in a satellite mission carrying a science‐grade magnetometer. In preparation for such a mission, it is essential to characterize the interactions between the sail and the ambient plasma that could affect the magnetometer readings.

The azimuthal extent of three flux transfer events [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2008
In early 2006, the Cluster spacecraft crossed the dayside magnetopause twice each orbit with the spacecraft at their largest separation of the entire mission (~10 000 km).

Inter‐Orbit Variability of Jupiter's Current Sheet Morphology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The structure of Jupiter's magnetosphere reflects the combined effects of a strong intrinsic field and an extended hinged current sheet whose morphology varies with solar wind forcing. We present a study of Jupiter's magnetodisc that combines the UCL‐AGA magnetodisc code with Khurana's generalized, hinged current sheet models (1992/2022) to ...

Height‐Dependent Evolution of the Ionospheric Response to the May 2024 Superstorm: Global GNSS‐POD, GNSS‐RO, and Ground‐Based Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Capturing global ionospheric response during extreme geomagnetic storms remains a major observational challenge. During 10–11 May, 2024 superstorm, we investigate the height‐dependent response of the F‐region using multi‐constellation GNSS‐POD limb‐sounding measurements from COSMIC‐2, Spire, PlanetiQ, and FengYun‐3 satellites. Approximately 12,

Possible configurations of the magnetic field in the outer magnetosphere during geomagnetic polarity reversals [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2000
Possible configurations of the magnetic field in the outer magnetosphere during geomagnetic polarity reversals are investigated by considering the idealized problem of a magnetic multipole of order m and degree n located at the centre of a spherical ...

Machine Learning for Local Detection of Separators in Three‐Dimensional Magnetic Fields

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a major plasma phenomenon occurring in various key environments ranging from the Sun and near‐Earth space to astrophysical plasmas. While magnetic reconnection is relatively well‐understood under two‐dimensional (2D) settings, it remains challenging to characterize in three‐dimensional (3D) magnetic fields.

The Shape of Strongly Disturbed Dayside Magnetopause

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013
During strong geomagnetic disturbances, the Earth¡¦s magnetosphere exhibits unusual and nonlinear interaction with the incident flow of magnetized solar wind plasma. Global Magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) modeling of the magnetosphere predicts that the storm-

A Semi‐empirical Framework for Dst Prediction Based on Global MHD Simulation of Earth's Magnetosphere

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study develops a semi‐empirical framework for Dst index forecasting by integrating the PPMLR‐MHD model of Earth's magnetosphere with four established empirical models (Burton, UCB, AK2, and Wang). The framework partitions the physics: global magnetopause and tail currents are simulated by MHD, while the ring current contribution is ...
