Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling: Implications of Non-Equilibrium Conditions [PDF]
The response times of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere system are, on average, greater than the autocorrelation timescales of solar wind forcing. This means that the system is rarely, if ever, in equilibrium.

Asymmetric distribution of reconnection jet fronts in the Jovian nightside magnetosphere [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection plays important roles in mass transport and energy conversion in planetary magnetospheres. It is considered that transient reconnection causes localized auroral arcs or spots in the Jovian magnetosphere, by analogy to the case in ...

Noise, Regression Dilution Bias, and Solar-Wind/Magnetosphere Coupling Studies
Using numerical experiments, the effects of noise in the solar-wind and magnetospheric data on fits to the data are examined. In particular, the impact of noise amplitude on the functional forms of best-fit solar-wind driver functions is explored.

The magnetosphere under weak solar wind forcing [PDF]
The Earth's magnetosphere was very strongly disturbed during the passage of the strong shock and the following interacting ejecta on 21–25 October 2001. These disturbances included two intense storms (Dst*≈−250 and −180 nT, respectively).

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Azimuthal magnetic fields in saturn's magnetosphere: Effects associated with plasma sub-corotation and the magnetopause-tail current system [PDF]
We calculate the azimuthal magnetic fields expected to be present in Saturn’s magnetosphere associated with two physical effects, and compare them with the fields observed during the flybys of the two Voyager spacecraft.

The Geoeffectiveness of Solar Wind Current Sheets and Its Modulation by Foreshock Ions
We examined the evolution of 34 solar wind bifurcated current sheets in the magnetosheath and their magnetospheric responses, using the in‐situ observations of the THEMIS probes and the GOES satellites.
