Frequency‐Dependent Latitudinal Distributions of Plasmaspheric Plume Hiss Directionality and Amplitude

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Plasmaspheric plume hiss plays a crucial role in shaping Earth's electron radiation belts and influencing magnetosphere–ionosphere energy coupling. However, its generation mechanism remains contested between cyclic‐linear and localized‐nonlinear models. By analyzing over 64,000 high‐resolution plume hiss wave segments from the Van Allen Probes

Spatio-temporal structure of a poloidal Alfvén wave detected by Cluster adjacent to the dayside plasmapause [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2008
A case study of a poloidal ULF pulsation near the dayside plasmapause is presented based on Cluster observations of magnetic and electric fields. The pulsation is detected close to the magnetic equatorial plane at L shells L=[4.4, 4.6] and oscillates

Wave‐Based Quantification of Ion Composition in the Earth's Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere‐Coupling Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Ion composition critically determines the basic kinetic characteristics of plasma and affects energy transmission of the magnetosphere. However, it exhibits significant variations with altitude, latitude, local time, longitude, and also with geomagnetic and solar activity.

The electron density at the midpoint of the plasmapause

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The high density plasmasphere in the magnetosphere is often separated from a lower density region outside of the plasmasphere, called the plasmatrough, by a sharp gradient in electron density called the plasmapause.

Plasmapause undulation of 17 April 2002

Geophysical Research Letters, 2004
We report IMAGE EUV observations of a striking undulatory motion of the plasmapause that occurred on 17 April 2002, in which a large ripple propagated westward across the duskside plasmapause. From the plasmapause motion we infer a peak E‐field of ≈3 mV/m associated with the undulation, and estimate the undulation's equatorial azimuthal speed to be 0.9

Global Effects of Chorus and Hiss Waves on Trapped Energetic Electrons at Jupiter

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Unlike Earth, where whistler‐mode chorus is generally observed outside the plasmasphere and hiss is predominantly confined within it, Jupiter's magnetosphere frequently hosts both wave modes simultaneously. Using Juno observations, we present a global survey of whistler‐mode waves at Jupiter, demonstrating that both chorus and hiss are ...

A Computationally Efficient Method for Deriving Instantaneous F2 Layer Peak Parameters From Climatological Maps and TEC Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) and the Ionosphere‐Plasmasphere (IRI‐Plas) models describe monthly median ionospheric conditions. IRI‐Plas, unlike IRI, allows one to include instantaneous Total Electron Content observations (TEC) to adjust the median predictions. The standard IRI‐Plas generates monthly medians of foF2m, hmF2m and TECm

A very bright SAR arc: implications for extreme magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2007
In contrast to the polar aurora visible during geomagnetic storms, stable auroral red (SAR) arcs offer a sub-visual manifestation of direct magnetosphere-ionosphere (M-I) coupling at midlatitudes.

Hiss Wave Evolution During Substorms Based on Van Allen Probes Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Hiss waves frequently occur in the plasmasphere or plumes, playing a key role in energetic electron loss in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. While previous studies have linked hiss wave enhancements in the outer plasmasphere (just inside the plasmapause) to electron injections during substorms, their evolution across various substorm phases ...

A quantitative model for cyclotron wave-particle interactions at the plasmapause [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1998
The formation of a zone of energetic electron precipitation by the plasmapause, a region of enhanced plasma density, following energetic particle injection during a magnetic storm, is analyzed.
