Polytropic Index and Thermodynamic Behavior of the Central Plasma Sheet Near Lunar Distances

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In addition to making near‐Earth observations, the THEMIS/ARTEMIS mission is uniquely positioned at lunar distance, in the deep magnetotail, reaching distances of 60 RE ${R}_{E}$ and further. This vantage point allows ARTEMIS to access the plasma sheet and measure entropy evolution across convective channels, plasma flow gradients ...

ML‐EPM: A Machine Learning Model of Auroral Electron Precipitation Spectra Using Long‐Term DMSP Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Auroral precipitation plays a key role in coupling the Magnetosphere–Ionosphere–Thermosphere system by modifying ionospheric conductance, currents, atmospheric heating, and upper‐atmospheric dynamics. Leveraging 17 years of electron spectrum data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), we developed a Machine Learning‐based ...

Localization and Classification of Gravity Wave Events From VIIRS Day/Night Band Satellite Imagery Using Machine Learning Techniques

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Gravity waves in the upper mesosphere produce diverse spatial patterns in nighttime airglow, but their global morphology has been difficult to characterize because manual identification is impractical for the massive satellite image archive. We developed a machine learning framework to detect and classify gravity wave events in imagery from ...

Van Allen Probes Observations of Oxygen Ions at the Geospace Plume

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The geospace plume couples the ionosphere, plasmasphere, and magnetosphere from sub-auroral regions to the magnetopause, on polar field lines, and into the magnetotail.

Longitudinal Variation of Ionospheric Irregularities and Response of the Ionosphere During 10–13 May and 10–13 October 2024 Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We examine the response of the ionosphere to the 10–13 May 2024 and 10–13 October 2024 geomagnetic storms, the two recent great geomagnetic storms of solar cycle 25. We identified the occurrence of ionospheric irregularities during the two geomagnetic storms.

The distribution of plasmaspheric hiss wave power with respect to plasmapause location

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
In this work, Van Allen Probes data are used to derive terrestrial plasmaspheric hiss wave power distributions organized by (1) distance away from the plasmapause and (2) plasmapause distance from Earth.

Sensitivity of Bounce‐Averaged Diffusion Coefficients to the Latitudinal Variability of Lightning Generated Whistlers

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The development of statistical wave models that include the underlying variability of the wave distributions is an important next step toward more accurate radiation belt models. Lightning‐generated whistlers (LGW) are an important wave mode in the plasmasphere; previous time‐averaged diffusion coefficients have used assumptions about the wave

The fate of the outer plasmasphere [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 1997
Both the solar wind and the ionosphere contribute to Earth's magnetospheric plasma environment. However, it is not widely appreciated that the plasmasphere is a large reservoir of ionospheric ions that can be tapped to populate the plasma sheet. We employ empirical models of high‐latitude ionospheric convection and the geomagnetic field to describe the

Ray Tracing Method in a General Non‐Dipole Magnetic Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a new general mathematical formulation of the Eikonal equations for ray tracing, which can use any internal magnetic field model. The analytical and tractable expressions are conveniently based on a vector formalism, which is independent of any coordinate system.
