A Dynamic Auroral Ionospheric Density Profile Reveals a Planetary‐Scale Cavity at Jupiter

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Low‐altitude measurements above Jupiter's main auroras have shown the presence of persistent auroral density depletions. This low density regime strongly favors auroral acceleration by inertial Alfvén waves to explain the predominance of energetic (100–1,000 keV) broadband electron beams.

Electron‐Driven Instabilities in Jupiter's Magnetodisc

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Thermal electrons in Jupiter's magnetodisc have been observed to be anisotropic with higher parallel temperature compared to perpendicular. In this work, we used previously‐derived electron properties (Sarkango et al., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025gl118209) to calculate electron β‖ ${\beta }_{\Vert }$ and compared the observed anisotropy ...

Michigan Geospace Model With Ensemble Forecasting and Particle Filtering: Modeling the May 2024 Extreme Storm

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces an updated version of the University of Michigan Geospace model. The Geospace model has been used for operational forecasting at the Space Weather Modeling Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency since 2016 with regular updates. The current operational version, Geospace V2, was launched in 2021 and is driven

Cross‐Correlations of Solar Wind Parameters Using Monitoring Spacecraft

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Space weather predictive modeling currently utilizes real‐time data from the spacecraft ACE and DSCOVR, with SOLAR‐1 and IMAP recently online. This study assesses whether DSCOVR solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) data exhibit large‐scale discrepancies from the corresponding ACE data, and if so, whether these ...

Determining the State of Jupiter’s Magnetosphere Using In Situ and Remote Sensing Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
While Jupiter’s magnetosphere is primarily governed by internal processes, variations in solar wind conditions can significantly modulate magnetospheric energy.

Robust Short‐Term Forecasting of Thermospheric Density and Orbit Prediction Using an Interpretable iTransformer Model

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Accurate short‐term forecasting of thermospheric mass density is crucial for satellite operations. However, achieving high‐precision predictions remains a significant challenge. In this study, we develop an iTransformer framework that forecasts thermospheric density over the next 24 hr using observations from the preceding 24 hr. Using density

Why Doesn't the Observed Field‐Aligned Current Saturate With Increasing Interplanetary Electric Field?

Geophysical Research Letters
Theoretical studies indicate that electric potential saturation in a polar cap ionosphere is regulated by the limited reconnection rate at the magnetopause associated with field‐aligned currents (FACs), predicting the possible saturation of FACs under ...

On the Geoelectric Field Response to the SSC of the May 2024 Super Storm Over Europe

Space Weather
Solar variability can lead to significant disturbances, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). A CME impacting the Earth's magnetosphere often causes geomagnetic storms that affect not only the magnetosphere but also the ionosphere, the upper atmosphere,

Instability of the magnetosphere-ionosphere convection and formation of auroral arcs

Annales Geophysicae
In this paper we study an instability of the plasma moving towards the Earth near the inner plasma sheet boundary. We include both the interchange instability of the plasma sheet and the magnetosphere-ionosphere interaction instability caused by an ...
