Electron radiation belt dynamics during magnetic storms and in quiet time

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2018
The paper discusses the outer electron belt dynamics, adiabatic and nonadiabatic mechanisms of increases and losses of energetic electrons. Under undisturbed conditions, the outer electron belt gradually empties: in the inner magnetosphere due to ...

A Machine Learning‐Based Model of Three‐Dimensional Ion Fluxes in the High‐Altitude Earth's Northern Cusp

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause is the primary pathway for transferring mass, momentum, and energy from the solar wind into the terrestrial magnetosphere. Previous studies have shown that the spatiotemporal dynamics of dayside magnetic reconnection can be inferred remotely from properties of Earth's cusps, specifically their ...

Global Energy Circulation During a Solar Wind Density Pulse

Space Weather
We study the propagation and impacts of a strong density pulse through the magnetosphere during 11:40–12:00 UT near the peak of a geomagnetic storm on 3 February 2022. Using the Space Weather Modeling Framework Geospace global simulation, we show how the

Reconfiguration of Mercury's Exosphere During Strong Space Weather Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Mercury is exposed to various space weathering processes, which alter the surface and cause emission of atoms and molecules into the exosphere. The exosphere thus allows remote insights into the surface composition and erosion processes, with the emission of refractory elements such as Ca and Mg typically being dominated by micrometeoroid ...

Geomagnetic pulsations in 1–4 mHz frequency range (Pc5/Pi3) in the magnetotail at different levels of disturbances in the interplanetary medium

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2022
In this paper, we study parameters of geomagnetic pulsations in the 1–4 mHz frequency range (Pc5/Pi3) in the magnetotail, utilizing data obtained by Cluster satellites at different levels of fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and the

Chorus Wave‐Induced Ionospheric Variability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Electron microbursts are short‐lived but intense electron precipitation and constitute a significant source of electron losses into the ionosphere and lower atmosphere. They are primarily produced by wave‐particle interaction with chorus waves in the magnetosphere.

From physics of polar aurora to changes of the fundamental approaches to the physics of the magnetospheric processes

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
One of the main problems of modern magnetospheric physics is the lack of a self-consistent explanation of the main physical processes based on the laws of plasma physics.

Magnetic Reconnection Driven by the Impact of a Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract High‐speed jets (HSJs) are transient structures in the magnetosheath characterized by enhanced dynamic pressure. While recent studies report that HSJs trigger magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, whether they can directly drive reconnection within the magnetosheath remains an open question.

Validation of the use of THEMIS-B and THEMIS-C as a near-Earth solar wind monitor

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022
Two THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) spacecraft, B and C, began orbiting the Moon in 2011 and have since provided routine measurements of the plasma conditions in the lunar orbit.

Observational Analysis on the Relationship Between Chorus Waves and MeV Microburst Electron Precipitation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Microbursts are thought to be a key contributor to radiation belt electron loss, with chorus waves considered a primary driver of this precipitation. However, the conditions under which chorus waves produce MeV electron loss remain poorly constrained.
