Local Evolution of a Prenoon Drainage Plume

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Plasmaspheric drainage plumes are typically observed in the postnoon sector during geomagnetic storms, but their local evolution in the prenoon sector remains poorly understood. Here, we report in situ observations from the Van Allen Probe, revealing multiple localized enhancements in cold electron density near apogee in the prenoon sector ...

IMF dependence of the open-closed field line boundary in Saturn's ionosphere, and its relation to the UV auroral oval observed by the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]

, 2007
We study the dependence of Saturn's magnetospheric magnetic field structure on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), together with the corresponding variations of the open-closed field line boundary in the ionosphere.

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.

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 electron density at the midpoint of the plasmapause

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The high density plasmasphere in the magnetosphere is often separated from a lower density region outside of the plasmasphere, called the plasmatrough, by a sharp gradient in electron density called the plasmapause.

Statistical Properties of Molecular Ions in the Ring Current Observed by the Arase (ERG) Satellite

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Molecular ions in the magnetosphere can be a tracer of fast ion outflows from the deep ionosphere. Statistical properties of molecular ions (O2+/NO+/N2+) in the ring current are investigated based on ion composition measurements (

Enhanced Energetic Neutral Atom Imaging

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Over the past two decades, instruments designed to image plasmas in energetic neutral atom (ENA) emission have flown in space. In contrast to typical satellite-based in situ instruments, ENA imagers provide a global view of the magnetosphere because they

Random Forest Model of Ultralow‐Frequency Magnetospheric Wave Power

Earth and Space Science, 2020
Models of magnetospheric ultralow‐frequency (ULF) waves can be used to study wave phenomena and to calculate the effect of these waves on the energization and transport of radiation belt electrons.

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

Ballooning stability of the Earth's magnetosphere [PDF]

, 2003
textA substorm is a frequently occurring ordered sequence of global energetic events in the magnetosphere and ionosphere. The most obvious manifestation of a substorm is auroral brightening, due to an increase in the number of electrons precipitating ...
