Response of convection electric fields in the magnetosphere to IMF orientation change [PDF]
, 2009 [1] The transient response of convection electric fields in the inner magnetosphere to southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is investigated using in‐situ electric field observations by the CRRES and Akebono spacecraft.

Validation of VERB‐3D Simulation Results in Response to the COSPAR ISWAT Challenge
Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract In response to the first long‐term simulation challenge issued by the COSPAR International Space Weather Action Team (ISWAT) G3‐04 team (“Internal Charging Effects and the Relevant Space Environment”), we evaluate the performance of the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt‐3D model by simulating the radiation belt electron dynamics for the entire

The electron density at the midpoint of the plasmapause
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesThe 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.

Argon ion pollution of the magnetosphere [PDF]
, 1985 Construction of a Solar Power Satellite (SPS) would require the injection of large quantities of propellant to transport material from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to the construction site at Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO).

Evolution of Magnetospheric Boundary Layers Under the 10 May 2024 ICME Impact
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract On 10 May 2024, an interplanetary coronal mass ejection‐driven shock impacted the dayside magnetopause, compressing it to ∼5 RE. A northward interplanetary magnetic field suppressed dayside reconnection and allowed a clear investigation of the magnetosphere response.

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.

Effects of argon ion injections in the plasmasphere [PDF]
, 1980 In lifting massive space power system payloads from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous Earth orbit, Cargo Orbit Transfer (COTV) using ion propulsion will inject energetic beams of argon ions into the plasmasphere.

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

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.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract The threefold daytime electron density increases, along with strong poleward meridional winds exceeding 200 m/s were captured by Sanya Incoherent Scatter Radar (SYISR) during the geomagnetic storm of 12 November 2025. The great ionospheric enhancements were extending to mid‐latitudes over 40° observed by total electron content (TEC) from ...
