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.

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 ${

A summary of observational records on periodicities above the rotational period in the Jovian magnetosphere [PDF]
The Jovian magnetosphere is a very dynamic system. The plasma mass-loading from the moon Io and the fast planetary rotation lead to regular release of mass from the Jovian magnetosphere and to a change of the magnetic topology.

Bounce Resonance Between ULF Waves and Electrons in the Dayside Outer Magnetosphere
Abstract Resonant interactions between ultra‐low‐frequency (ULF) waves and particles are critical for energy transfer in the Earth's magnetosphere, and have been extensively investigated in the inner magnetosphere. However, resonant processes between ULF waves and electrons in the dayside outer magnetosphere remain largely unexplored.

Transport of Mirror Mode Structures through Saturn’s Magnetopause Reconnection
Magnetopause reconnection plays a significant role in transferring plasma and energy from the solar wind to planetary magnetospheres. Using a Cassini measurement, we reported a magnetopause reconnection at Saturn, identified by the Hall magnetic field ...

Occurrence of Flat‐Top Electron Velocity Distributions in Magnetotail Plasma Jets
Abstract Non‐Maxwellian electron velocity distributions (eVDFs) are ubiquitous in collisionless plasmas. For example, various types of non‐Maxwellian eVDFs exist in magnetic reconnection jets in the Earth's magnetotail. At thermal energies, eVDF can be flat‐topped due to electron trapping associated with magnetic reconnection.

Analysis of Ion Cyclotron Waves during Cassini’s Flybys of Enceladus
Ion cyclotron waves (ICWs) are ubiquitous phenomena within Saturn’s magnetosphere, particularly in the vicinity of Enceladus. This study focuses on the Cassini spacecraft’s flyby data of Enceladus to investigate the spatial distribution and properties of

Magnetic anomalies of the NW Iberian continental margin and the adjacent abyssal plains
The NW Iberian margin is a hyperextended continental margin, formed during the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a subsequent partial tectonic inversion has undergone during the Alpine Orogeny. This succession of tectonic episodes determines the

Abstract The observations from GRACE‐FO and DMSP satellites are utilized to analyze the ion‐neutral interaction near dusk during the 10–12 May 2024 super‐storm. The horizontal plasma convection dragged the anti‐sunward wind in the polar cap and sunward winds around the auroral and subauroral regions during whole storm times.
