Evolution of Reversed Electron Energy Spectra in Earth’s Radiation Belts Observed by CIRBE

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Following an intense geomagnetic storm (Dst < −150 nT) on 5 November 2023, electron fluxes in the outer radiation belt were reduced by more than three orders of magnitude at energies below ∼700 keV while they were enhanced at ∼1–3 MeV, leading to reversed energy spectra.

Extreme Radiation Belt Dropout During the May 2024 Superstorm

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract The geomagnetic superstorm in May 2024 represents the most extreme space weather event over the past two decades, offering a unique opportunity to investigate radiation belt electron dynamics under exceptionally strong solar wind driving conditions. Observations from the Arase satellite show that relativistic electron fluxes dropped by several

The interactions between ULF waves and cold charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere

地球与行星物理论评, 2022
In the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling processes, many kinds of plasma waves can be excited in the Earth's magnetosphere including ULF waves, hiss waves, chorus waves, etc. Among these waves, ULF waves are featured by the lowest wave frequency (1 mHz～1

Oxygen Ion Percentage Inferred From the Cutoff Frequencies of Ionospheric ELF Hiss Emissions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract The lower cutoff frequency of hiss emissions observed in the ionosphere is controlled by local plasma composition and density. This study identifies 6,340 ionospheric hiss wave events based on observations from the China Seismo‐Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES‐01) from 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2020.

Abrupt Disappearance of Plasmaspheric Hiss Inside the Magnetic Dip

Geophysical Research Letters
Plasmaspheric hiss plays an important role in radiation belt electron dynamics, and its excitation and propagation have long attracted attention. During a substorm, Van Allen Probe B observed the disappearance of plasmaspheric hiss at the magnetic dip ...

Assessment of Spacecraft Internal Charging in the Earth's Outer Radiation Belt

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The internal charging effects triggered by energetic (>100 keV) electrons in the Earth's radiation belts can cause anomalies and failures of electronic components aboard spacecraft. Given the critical importance of safeguarding space assets, it is essential to estimate internal charging risks, which depend highly on the distribution of ...

Cross Correlation Between Plasmaspheric Hiss Waves and Enhanced Radiation Levels at Aviation Altitudes

Space Weather
Enhanced radiation in the Earth's atmosphere can pose serious hazards to pilots, aircraft passengers, and commercial space travelers. Recent results have shown, statistically, that there is a strong correlation between dose rates observed by Automated ...

Peculiar Magnetosphere‐Atmosphere Coupling and Its Impacts Over the South American Magnetic Anomaly Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The auroral‐like sporadic E‐layer is typically observed at altitudes between 100 and 150 km within the South American Magnetic Anomaly region. However, the occurrence of an unusual layer event detected above this altitude range on 18 July 2017 has raised intriguing questions regarding the physical processes responsible for the substantial ...

Enhanced Radiation Levels at Aviation Altitudes and Their Relationship to Plasma Waves in the Inner Magnetosphere

Space Weather, 2023
It is believed that galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles are the two major sources of ionizing radiation. However, the radiation source may also be due to relativistic electrons that are associated with precipitation from the Van Allen ...
