Modulation of nightside polar patches by substorm activity [PDF]
Results are presented from a multi-instrument study showing the influence of geomagnetic substorm activity on the spatial distribution of the high-latitude ionospheric plasma. Incoherent scatter radar and radio tomography measurements on 12 December 2001

Supercorotating return flow from reconnection in Saturn's magnetotail [PDF]
Detecting plasma dynamics in Saturn's magnetosphere is essential for understanding energy flow through the system. It has been proposed that both the Dungey and Vasyliunas cycles operate at Saturn, and the competition between these cycles has been ...

Comparison between SuperDARN flow vectors and equivalent ionospheric currents from ground magnetometer arrays [PDF]
Equivalent ionospheric currents obtained with the spherical elementary current systems (SECS) method and derived from nearly 100 ground magnetometers spread over North America and Greenland are compared with ionospheric flow vectors measured by the ...

Abstract GaugeCam Remote Image Manager Educational 2 (GRIME2) is a free, open‐source Windows application for water level measurement in surface water bodies using ground‐based time‐lapse imagery. We evaluated a new “stop sign” (i.e., octagon shape) calibration target and GRIME2 algorithms by comparing results to other measurement methods over a 26 ...

Reconfiguration of polar-cap plasma in the magnetic midnight sector
Radio tomography and the EISCAT and Super-DARN radars have been used to identify long-lived, high-altitude, cold plasma in the antisunward convective flow across the polar cap.

Meteorological Tsunamis: From Local Hazard to Global Relevance
Abstract Research on meteorological tsunamis or meteotsunamis—long ocean waves in the tsunami frequency band generated by propagating atmospheric disturbances which resonantly enhance ocean waves—has grown significantly in recent decades. This expansion is due to progress in (a) ocean and atmospheric measurements, including advanced instrumentation ...

Midnight sector observations of auroral omega bands [PDF]
We present observations of auroral omega bands on 28 September 2009. Although generally associated with the substorm recovery phase and typically observed in the morning sector, the features presented here occurred just after expansion phase onset and ...

Are Cusp‐Aligned Arcs the Equivalent of Auroral Streamers in a Closed Magnetosphere?
Abstract We present the first observations of a 3‐hour quasi‐periodic intensification of the polar auroras during a prolonged interval of strongly‐northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). This takes the form of a localized spot of auroral emission that appears near the pole which subsequently spreads sunward and antisunward to produce a sun ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Swarm Satellite and EISCAT Radar Observations of a Plasma Flow Channel in the Auroral Oval Near Magnetic Midnight [PDF]
We present Swarm satellite and EISCAT radar observations of electrodynamical parameters in the midnight sector at high latitudes. The most striking feature is a plasma flow channel located equatorward of the polar cap boundary within the dawn convection ...
