Solar Wind–Magnetosphere–Ionosphere Coupling Under Extreme External Driving: Characteristics of Dayside Ground Magnetic Disturbances

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The objective of the present study is to investigate solar wind‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling (SWMIC) under intense external driving in terms of dayside ground magnetic disturbances. Dayside magnetic reconnection drives a region‐1 sense current system, the SWMIC current system.

Impacts of E‐Region Neutral Wind Shear on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles: SAMI3 Simulations Including Metal Ions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The vertical shear of horizontal neutral winds plays an important role in forming dense metallic layers in the E region. Previous studies suggest that metal ion layers may inhibit equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) development by enhancing E‐region Pedersen conductivity.

Long‐Term Trends in the Calibration of the Cluster Fluxgate Magnetometer Instruments

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The calibration parameters of the Cluster mission's fluxgate magnetometer instruments have been determined and updated on a per‐orbit basis throughout the 24 years of the mission. Since there is no absolute field reference for vector measurements in‐flight, various spacecraft‐to‐spacecraft and instrument‐to‐instrument comparisons have been ...

Drivers of F‐Region Ionosphere Tidal Variability Caused by the Madden Julian Oscillation: Separating E‐Region Dynamo and Field‐Aligned Wind Effects

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), a recurring intraseasonal (30–96 days) disturbance in the troposphere, strongly influences the E‐region and F‐region ionosphere through its modulation of atmospheric tides. Among these, the diurnal eastward wave number 3 (DE3) tide, driven by MJO‐modulated latent heating, carries MJO signals upward into the

Temporal Variability of Saturn's H2 Dayglow and Northern Aurora Observed by Hisaki and Cassini

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) emissions from molecular hydrogen in Saturn's atmosphere consist of bright auroral emission over the poles and disk‐wide airglow. The dayside disk emits substantial intensities (dayglow) previously detected by various instruments.

Ion Anisotropy in Earth's Magnetotail: Importance of High‐Energy Ions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The reconfiguration of the magnetotail current sheet during substorms often includes the formation of a thin current sheet (TCS) with a strong magnetic field line tension force. This force cannot be balanced by isotropic plasma pressure gradients, and force balance in such a TCS requires ion anisotropy and/or agyrotropy of plasma pressure.

Jupiter's Auroral Ionosphere: Hybrid Monte Carlo, Auroral Spectrum and Conductivity Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a new model of auroral precipitation and associated phenomena at Jupiter, called the Jupiter Auroral Ionosphere Code (JAIC). The hybrid model follows the primary electron population using a Monte Carlo code that runs on a GPU, and computes the contribution of the secondaries using a two‐stream approximation.
