On the formation of a plasma pressure anisotropy in the dayside magnetosheath [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1995
We present a numerical solution for the momentum equation of the magnetosheath particles that describes the distribution of the pressure anisotropy of the magnetosheath plasma in the midday meridian plane. The pressure anisotropy is a maximum near the

Alfvénic Poynting Flux Characterized by a Substorm‐SMC Cycle and Ionospheric Influence

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic substorms are fundamental processes of explosive geospace energy release within the Earth's magnetotail, which are usually divided into three phases: the growth phase, the expansion phase, and the recovery phase. Large‐scale electromagnetic energy transport during a geomagnetic substorm is in the form of Alfvén waves, transmitting ...

First Report of Rising‐Tone EMIC Waves Driven by the Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Magnetosheath high‐speed jets (HSJs) are pervasive transient structures with enhanced dynamic pressure in the terrestrial magnetosheath and can exert notable local impacts on the magnetopause. Although various geoeffects have been reported to be associated with HSJs, whether HSJs can drive the generation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC)

Statistical Evaluation of a Foreshock Transient Model Using Ground‐Based ULF Wave Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Hot flow anomalies and foreshock bubbles are discontinuity–driven foreshock transients that generate significant geospace disturbances. A recently developed analytical model can predict their upstream perturbations. In this study, we further evaluate this model by comparing its predictions with geomagnetic disturbances measured by ground‐based

Ion anisotropies in the magnetosheath

Geophysical Research Letters, 1993
One‐ and two‐dimensional initial value hybrid computer simulations are used with a magnetosheath parameter model to study the consequences of the growth of the mirror and ion cyclotron anisotropy instabilities. Magnetosheath observations have demonstrated inverse correlations between the proton and helium ion temperature anisotropies and the proton ...

Martian Magnetotail Neutral Sheet Asymmetry Driven by Heavy Planetary Pickup Ions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract In the induced magnetotail of Mars, the neutral sheet is an important channel for atmospheric ion escape, yet the role of heavy planetary pickup ions in shaping its geometry has been unclear. Using three‐dimensional hybrid simulations, we demonstrate that these ions induce a global neutral sheet asymmetry via mass loading.

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

The Effect of Fast Solar Wind on Ion Distribution Downstream of Earth’s Bow Shock

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The solar wind gets thermalized and compressed when crossing a planetary bow shock, forming the magnetosheath. The angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal vector separates the quasi-parallel from the quasi-perpendicular ...

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.

MMS Observations of the Energetic Particles Within Kelvin‐Helmholtz Waves at the Boundary of the 10 May 2024 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.
