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

Forecasting Local Ionospheric Parameters Using Transformers

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract We present a novel method for forecasting key ionospheric parameters using transformer‐based neural networks. The model provides accurate forecasts and uncertainty quantification of the F2‐layer peak plasma frequency (foF2), the F2‐layer peak density height (hmF2), and total electron content for a given geographic location.

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.

Photoelectron flux buildup in the plasmasphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1978
Processes which confine photoelectrons to the plasmasphere (e.g., collisional backscattering from the thermosphere and magnetic trapping due to pitch angle redistribution through Coulomb collisions in the plasmasphere) tend to increase the steady state photoelectron flux in the plasmasphere above the amplitude level that would otherwise have been ...

Inner Magnetospheric Oxygen Torus Induced by Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves

Geophysical Research Letters
Cold oxygen ions escaping from the ionosphere and temporarily trapped near the plasmapause form the oxygen torus. Mass‐loading by these oxygen ions significantly affects magnetospheric plasma processes.

On the Seeding of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles by Longitudinal Variations in the Meridional Wind

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract We report results from SAMI3/WACCM‐X simulations that small‐scale (∼ ${\sim} $few 100 km) longitudinal variations in the meridional wind provide seeds to initiate equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs). The meridional wind variations generate variations in the ion density along the magnetic field via ion‐neutral collisions.

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,

Efficiency of Electromagnetic Energy Transfer From Solar Wind to Ionosphere Through Magnetospheric Ultra‐Low Frequency Waves

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Ultra‐low frequency (ULF) waves are a ubiquitous carrier of energy in geospace. However, their efficiency in transferring solar wind energy into the upper atmosphere remains a fundamental and not well‐understood question. This is due to their global presence, which cannot be fully quantified by spatially limited observations, and the need for ...

Investigation of EMIC wave scattering as the cause for the BARREL 17 January 2013 relativistic electron precipitation event: A quantitative comparison of simulation with observations [PDF]

, 2014
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves were observed at multiple observatory locations for several hours on 17 January 2013. During the wave activity period, a duskside relativistic electron precipitation (REP) event was observed by one of the ...

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 ...
