Abstract Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are a significant space weather hazard. Their accurate assessment requires estimating the geoelectric field, which depends on the Earth's subsurface electrical conductivity. While long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) surveys are ideal, archives of legacy broadband MT data, originally acquired for geological ...

The plasmapause marks the limit of the plasmasphere and is characterized by a sudden change in plasma density. This can influence the other regions of the magnetosphere, including due to different waves circulating inside and outside the plasmasphere. In

The Double Pulsar Eclipses I: Phenomenology and Multi-frequency Analysis [PDF]
The double pulsar PSR J0737-3039A/B displays short, 30 s eclipses that arise around conjunction when the radio waves emitted by pulsar A are absorbed as they propagate through the magnetosphere of its companion pulsar B.

Updates, Examples and Validation of the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model
Abstract This study provides an updated description, example simulations, and validation of the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM). The updates to GITM include using an exothermic semi‐implicit chemistry scheme that no longer requires an altitude dependent heating efficiency; an ionospheric wind‐driven dynamo; improved neutral, ion, and ...

The fate of the outer plasmasphere [PDF]
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

Analysis of Chorus Wave Power on Burst‐Mode Timescales During the Van Allen Probes Era
Abstract Interactions between whistler‐mode chorus waves and electrons are a key driver of dynamics in Earth's radiation belts. These global dynamics are often described using Fokker‐Planck diffusion models. Whilst, in many cases, such models effectively describe the large scale changes within the region, they often rely upon spatially and temporally ...

Refilling of the Earth's plasmasphere
The Earth's ionosphere at mid‐latitudes is produced chiefly by solar EUV‐induced photo‐ionization of the neutral atmosphere at altitudes of 90 to 300–400 kilometers. Such ionized gas, or plasma—entrained by the Earth's (basically bipolar) magnetic field—flows upward along magnetic lines of force, until the plasma gas pressure is equalized along the ...

Filtering of Magnetosonic Waves by Mesoscale Plasmaspheric Density Interfaces
Magnetosonic waves inside and outside the plasmasphere differ statistically in occurrence rate, frequency, and intensity. How the density interface separates magnetosonic waves inside and outside the plasmasphere remains not fully understood.

An Analysis of the Anomalous Response of the Van Allen Probes EFW Instrument
Abstract Recent in situ measurements of electric fields from missions such as Polar, DEMETER, and the Van Allen Probes have reported anomalies in double‐probe electric field measurements, attributed to unintended coupling between the sensor and nearby driven stub surfaces through the ambient plasma.
