ABSTRACT The Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere establish an essential connection between Earth's lower atmosphere and upper atmosphere because wind patterns essential for atmospheric movement also influence energy distribution and chemical movements during geomagnetic storms that disrupt satellite operations and space weather prediction systems.

Experimental Study of the Response of Sheared E × B Flow to Varying Ion–Neutral Collisions
Partially ionized plasma is a common occurrence in astrophysical and space environments. The emergence and development of plasma instabilities are significantly impacted by the inelastic collisions between the ions and neutrals in the partially ionized ...

Planetary waves and vortex structures in the ionosphere [PDF]
Abstract. The problem of propagation of large-scale vortices in the ionosphere is investigated. Permanently acting fundamental factors have been discovered making it possible to reveal the mechanisms of generation of large-scale vortices and planetary waves in conductive atmosphere.

Modeling of Elves Doublets Based on Variations of the Lightning Return Stroke Current
Abstract Elves are transient luminous events appearing above thunderclouds. They are produced by high peak current lightning events. They occasionally appear as doublets or in general as multiplets. We model elves doublets by setting the temporal and spatial variations of the return stroke current amplitude and we show that our modeling results are ...

Current Events at Saturn: Ring–Planet Electromagnetic Coupling
This study presents a synthesized analysis of in situ and ground-based observations to investigate electromagnetic coupling between Saturn and its rings. During the Cassini Grand Finale, the magnetometer detected gradients in the azimuthal magnetic field

Derivation of a planetary ionospheric storm index [PDF]
Abstract. The planetary ionospheric storm index, Wp, is deduced from the numerical global ionospheric GPS-IONEX maps of the vertical total electron content, TEC, for more than half a solar cycle, 1999–2008. The TEC values are extracted from the 600 grid points of the map at latitudes 60° N to 60° S with a step of 5° and longitudes 0° to 345° E with a ...

Abstract Using Van Allen Probes data (2013–2015), we report that highly oblique chorus waves frequently occur in low‐density regions where fpe/fce≈3 ${f}_{\text{pe}}/{f}_{\text{ce}}\approx 3$. These waves exhibit an electric‐to‐magnetic energy ratio PE/c2PB>0.5 $\sqrt{{P}_{\mathrm{E}}/{c}^{2}{P}_{\mathrm{B}}} > 0.5$, much higher than the typical <0.1 ${

The Turbulence Properties of 150‐km Echoes in the Lower Ionosphere
Abstract The valley region ionosphere spans from approximately 120–200 km in altitude, and hosts a wide range of plasma, neutral, and solar interactions that create and maintain the ionosphere. In this region a ubiquitous and mysterious source of radar echoes called “150‐km echoes” has been observed since the 1960s.

Abstract During the geomagnetic storm on 10 May 2024, neutral density measurements from 14 Tianmu, Swarm, and GRACE‐FO satellites at ∼510 km altitude, combined with total electron content (TEC) observations, enabled the first global observational comparison of large‐scale traveling atmospheric and ionospheric disturbances (LSTADs/TIDs) via snapshots ...
