Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} $D=\max \left\{-Dst\right\}$ to the storm main‐phase maximum duskward interplanetary electric field E $E$.

The Short and Long Timescale Responses of the Inner Magnetospheric EMIC Waves to the Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The causal relationships between solar wind dynamic pressure and Electromagnetic Ion‐Cyclotron (EMIC) H+ ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$, He+ ${\mathrm{H}\mathrm{e}}^{+}$, O+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{+}$ waves at L=3−6 $L=3-6$ are investigated with transfer entropy at short (<15 ${< } 15$ min) and long (>45 ${ >} 45$ min) timescales. The short timescale responses of

Transport of Mirror Mode Structures through Saturn’s Magnetopause Reconnection

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetopause reconnection plays a significant role in transferring plasma and energy from the solar wind to planetary magnetospheres. Using a Cassini measurement, we reported a magnetopause reconnection at Saturn, identified by the Hall magnetic field ...

Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual‐Lobe Reconnection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS‐2 orbits through the northern low‐altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS‐2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and sunward convection, consistent with magnetopause reconnection tailward of the cusp during this northward IMF interval.

Investigation of the occurrence of significant deviations in the magnetopause location: solar-wind and foreshock effects [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
Common magnetopause models can predict the location of the magnetopause with respect to upstream conditions from different sets of input parameters, including solar-wind pressure and the interplanetary magnetic field.

Unraveling the Fine‐Scale Tapestry of Solar Wind at 1AU

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Solar wind is a complex network of distinct magnetic flux tubes, each contained and separated by a current sheet. In this study, more than 50,000 current sheets in the solar wind are identified and characterized for the first time, using multi‐point Cluster observations during solar minimum and maximum intervals.

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.

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Initial Phase of Geomagnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using simultaneous magnetic field observations from 10 satellites and an automated detection algorithm, we identify broad regions of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave activity during the initial phases of geomagnetic storms between September 2015 and October 2019.

Is the Magnetic Field Line Curvature Really Important for Energetic Electron Losses From the Radiation Belt?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Recently, Hua et al. (2026, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025GL120881) combined observations during a 4‐day storm period with numerical simulations and concluded that the abrupt electron loss in the field‐line‐curvature scattering (FLCS) region played a leading role in shaping the outer boundary of radiation belt (RB); the authors conjectured that ...
