Variations of Mid‐Magnetotail Magnetic Pressure During Substorms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is commonly observed in the mid‐tail plasma sheet during substorms, the mechanism behind this spatial preference, however, remains unsolved. This study focuses on magnetic pressure evolution within this critical region during substorms.

Correlation between the solar wind speed and the passage of poleward-moving auroral forms into the polar cap

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
In 1961, Dungey suggested that magnetic reconnection occurs due to the solar-terrestrial interaction. The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is thought to merge with Earth’s geomagnetic field (GMF).

Observations of the Latitude and Frequency Distributions of Equatorward‐Propagating Chorus Waves

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Rising‐tone chorus elements are traditionally known to grow from low frequencies and extend to high frequencies. Using high‐resolution waveform measurements from the Van Allen Probes, we report a novel observation: equatorward‐propagating chorus waves at a few degrees in latitude are observed at high frequencies only.

HF Heating Effects as Seen From Below and Above: First Results of Joint SURA–Ionosfera‐M Experiment

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract This paper presents the first results of a coordinated experiment on the ionospheric plasma response to high‐frequency (HF) overdense heating, conducted using the SURA heating facility and the Ionosfera‐M satellite. The experiment combined ground‐based observations with in situ satellite measurements, enabling a comprehensive study of ...

Global Cowling Effects in the Sq‐EEJ Current System Under Electrostatic Approximation: Theoretical Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The solar quiet (Sq) current and equatorial electrojet are widely known as one of the fundamental currents in ionosphere. Although the Sq‐EEJ current system has been extensively investigated, the manner in which Hall and Pedersen current components collectively organize the system has not been clearly described.

Comparative Analysis of Ion and Electron Contributions to Ionospheric Ionization at Auroral and Subauroral Latitudes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Electron and proton precipitation into the nightside ionosphere is a key process in magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling. Although auroral electron precipitation at ∼0.1 ${\sim} 0.1$–10 keV is traditionally considered the main driver of auroral emissions, recent studies show that >30 ${ >} 30$ keV electrons and protons can significantly ...

Post‐Sunset Merging of Equatorial Ionization Anomaly Crests Into a Single Peak Over ∼35° Longitude During the 19 January 2026 Geomagnetic Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract We investigate the nighttime equatorial ionosphere during the 19 January 2026 geomagnetic storm using Global‐scale Observations of the Limb and Disk OI 135.6 nm observations and ground‐based GPS Total Electron Content. The observations reveal a pronounced longitudinal asymmetry in the post‐sunset equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA).

Global Plasmaspheric Refilling Rates Inferred From Deep‐Learning Electron Density Reconstructions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract As a key process in magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling, plasmaspheric refilling is a long‐standing focus in space physics. In this study, we develop a global electron density (GEO‐NE) model based on a CNN‐Transformer architecture, and use the model to investigate plasmaspheric electron density refilling rates. Using global electron density maps

Reanalysis of SKR Source Crossed by Cassini: Loss Cone Electrons as a Secondary Source of Free Energy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Saturn's Kilometric Radiation (SKR) is a powerful non‐thermal radio auroral emission produced by the Cyclotron Maser Instability (CMI), which generates waves close to the local cyclotron frequency in a highly magnetized plasma from mildly relativistic electrons.
