Solar Wind–Magnetosphere–Ionosphere Coupling Under Extreme External Driving: Characteristics of Dayside Ground Magnetic Disturbances

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
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.

The Comprehensive Response of the Magnetopause to the Impact of an Isolated Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Geophysical Research Letters
The magnetopause is the boundary between the Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind. Magnetosheath high‐speed jets can impact the magnetopause, causing local indentation and subsequently rebound.

Geoelectric Field Caused by Flux Transfer Events in an Ionosphere‐Coupled Vlasiator Simulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We report on the relationship between flux transfer events (FTEs) at Earth's magnetopause and the geoelectric field that is induced near the FTEs' magnetic footpoints. We study this system using the global hybrid‐Vlasov code Vlasiator, which has recently been extended to model ionospheric physics.

Statistical Properties of Small‐Scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Near‐Earth Solar Wind

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a statistical analysis of small‐scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) observed in the near‐Earth solar wind using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) and Wind spacecraft, identified through an automated Grad–Shafranov reconstruction technique.

COVEN: Providing a Variety of Threshold‐Based Forecasts for the Outer Radiation Belt

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a suite of VAMPIRE (Van Allen belt Multi‐day Predictions by Implementing a Random Forest for Electrons) models capable of predicting if the outer radiation belt crosses set percentile thresholds. We use Random Forest classification models to predict if the daily ∼2 MeV electron flux level across the outer radiation belt exceeds ...

Investigating Potential Benefits of Future Sub‐L1 Missions With STEREO‐A

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present the first statistical study of geomagnetic storm forecasting using in situ data from the STEREO‐A spacecraft as a sub‐L1 monitor. Between November 2022 and June 2024, STEREO‐A crossed the Sun–Earth line, covering longitudinal and radial separations of ±15° $\pm 15{}^{\circ}$ from the Sun–Earth line and 0.01–0.06 au from Earth.

Comprehensive Validation of Novel Deep Learning Architectures to Forecast Geomagnetic Substorms

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Magnetic substorms are disturbances in the terrestrial magnetosphere that can have significant space weather impacts, although forecasting their onset accurately remains an open problem. In this study, we develop multiple novel machine learning architectures based on convolutional neural networks, long short‐term memory networks, extreme ...

An HHT–ANN Framework for Short‐Term Kp Forecasting

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The geomagnetic activity index Kp is an important indicator of solar wind–magnetosphere coupling, and accurate 3‐hr‐ahead forecasting is important for space‐weather monitoring and warning. Because upstream solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) signals are strongly nonlinear and nonstationary, methods based only on conventional ...

Superposition of Doppler‐Shifting Magnetopause Kelvin‐Helmholtz Modes Through Dynamic Mode Decomposition of a Global MHD Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) mediates the viscous‐like solar‐terrestrial interaction by generating magnetopause surface waves that quickly become non‐linear. Basic theory predicts the locally most‐unstable linear wave dominates.

The Role of Planetary Rotation in Polar Cusp Localization

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Juno observations have revealed that Jupiter's polar cusps are displaced toward dusk and even the nightside, contradicting the Earth‐derived paradigm that is confined to narrower ranges near noon. These findings underscore the overlooked influence of planetary rotation on magnetospheric dynamics, exposing a critical gap in current theoretical ...
