Multi‐Species Energy‐Banded Ions in the Ionosphere During the 21 January 2005 Magnetic Storm: Low‐Altitude Edge of the Warm Plasma Cloak

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract During the 21–22 January 2005 magnetic storm, the FAST satellite observed warm (< few keV) ions in discrete energy bands on the dayside at ∼3,000 km altitude for more than 6.5 hr. We suggest that the ionospheric energy‐banded ions represent the low‐altitude edge of the warm plasma cloak observed simultaneously by magnetospheric satellites ...

Enhanced Radiation Exposure of Airline Crew and Passengers During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Enhanced radiation at aviation altitudes is a concern for flight crew and passengers. During space weather events, solar flares and coronal mass ejection (CME) driven shocks are sources of energetic particles that can reach Earth's near‐space environment and interact with its magnetic field and atmosphere.

Wave-induced loss of ultra-relativistic electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts. [PDF]

, 2016
The dipole configuration of the Earth's magnetic field allows for the trapping of highly energetic particles, which form the radiation belts. Although significant advances have been made in understanding the acceleration mechanisms in the radiation belts,

Role of Large‐Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances in the Positive Storm Phase Observed by the Millstone Hill Radar and GNSS TEC Measurements

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract A moderate geomagnetic storm was driven by high‐speed solar wind stream on 14 March 2016. We show that large‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (LSTIDs) played a significant role in producing the ionospheric storm positive phase at mid‐latitudes in the North American sector.

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.

Low-altitude measurements of 2–6 MeV electron trapping lifetimes at 1.5 ≤ L ≤ 2.5 [PDF]

, 2007
During the Halloween Storm period (October–November 2003), a new Van Allen belt electron population was powerfully accelerated. The inner belt of electrons formed in this process decayed over a period of days to years. We have examined quantitatively the

Outer Radiation Belt Dynamics During the October 2012 Storm Revisited: Rapid Inward Radial Transport From a Dynamic Outer Boundary

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Earth's outer radiation belt electron flux is highly variable and can be enhanced by over an order of magnitude over timescales less than one day, as observed during the October 2012 storm. Previous studies of this storm (e.g., Reeves et al., 2013, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1237743) have invoked local acceleration to explain this ...

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.

Plasmaspheric High‐Frequency Whistlers as a Candidate Cause of Shock Aurora at Earth

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Auroral brightening driven by interplanetary shocks on Earth's closed magnetic field lines is commonly attributed to the 0.1–10 keV electron precipitations by electron cyclotron harmonic waves and whistler‐mode chorus waves in the low‐density region.
