Evolution of NWC Transmitter Wave Power Distribution From the Topside Ionosphere Into the Inner Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Ground‐based very low frequency transmitters emit signals that primarily propagate within the Earth–ionosphere waveguide, and some of their energy can propagate into the magnetosphere. Ionospheric observations from the DEMETER satellite reveal a distinct concentric rings pattern of the wave power distribution of the North West Cape transmitter

The dynamics of the plasmasphere: Recent results

, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to review recent advances in the study of the Earth's plasmasphere. Most of these have been obtained with data from two missions launched in 2000, Cluster and IMAGE.

First Observation of Sawtooth‐Like Undulations in Afternoon Detached Auroral Arcs Modulated by Surface Waves at the Plasmaspheric Plume Boundary

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The afternoon detached auroral arc is an important phenomenon in the subauroral region, reflecting coupling processes between the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Previous studies have not identified fine‐scale structures in such arcs, leaving the dynamics underlying their formation poorly understood.

Analysis of the IMAGE RPI electron density data and CHAMP plasmasphere electron density reconstructions with focus on plasmasphere modelling

, 2016
The electron density of the topside ionosphere and the plasmasphere contributes essentially to the overall Total Electron Content (TEC) budget affecting Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals.

Links of the Plasmapause With Other Boundary Layers of the Magnetosphere: Ionospheric Convection, Radiation Belt Boundaries, Auroral Oval

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
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 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

Gravity Wave Influences on MSTID Climatology Over CONUS: WACCM‐X Year‐Long Simulation and GNSS Long‐Term Observation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Medium‐Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (MSTIDs) are prominent wave‐like structures in the ionosphere, with complex generation mechanisms involving both atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) and electrodynamic instabilities such as the Perkins instability (PI).

Refilling of the Earth's plasmasphere

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991
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 ...

A Semi‐empirical Framework for Dst Prediction Based on Global MHD Simulation of Earth's Magnetosphere

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study develops a semi‐empirical framework for Dst index forecasting by integrating the PPMLR‐MHD model of Earth's magnetosphere with four established empirical models (Burton, UCB, AK2, and Wang). The framework partitions the physics: global magnetopause and tail currents are simulated by MHD, while the ring current contribution is ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
This paper reports the results of ionosphere and plasmasphere observations with the Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar and ionosonde, Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, and Arase (ERG) satellites and simulations with field line interhemispheric ...
