Eigen‐Swarm: Swarm's Thermospheric Mass Density Modeling via Eigen‐Decomposition
Abstract Precise thermospheric mass density (TMD) prediction is essential for satellite orbital tracking, reentry calculations, and upper atmospheric processes under varying solar and magnetospheric conditions. In this paper, we construct an empirical model of TMD at 450 km altitude with accelerometer‐derived (ACC) TMD observations from the Swarm‐C ...

Calcium Bright Knots and the Formation of Chromospheric Anemone Jets on the Sun
Space-based observations show that the solar atmosphere from the solar chromosphere to the solar corona is filled with small-scale jets and is linked with small-scale explosions.

Heating of the solar chromosphere by ionization pumping
A new theory is proposed to explain the heating of the solar chromosphere, and possibly the corona, by the dissipation of hydrodynamic compression waves. The basis of the dissipative mechanism, here referred to as ionization pumping, is hysteresis caused by irreversible relaxation of the chromospheric medium to ionization equilibrium following pressure

Multi‐Source Forecast of Solar Cycle Flare Activity Using the Novel Informer‐Based Models
Abstract Solar flares, the significant indicators of solar activity, have an impact on Earth's satellites and communication systems. Accurate prediction of solar flare events is crucial for mitigating these effects. In this work, we use multiple data sources, including Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites soft X‐ray flare flux and the ...

High frequency oscillations in the solar chromosphere and their connection with heating [PDF]
AbstractHigh frequency acoustic waves have been suggested as a source of mechanical heating in the quiet solar chromosphere. To investigate this, we have observed intensity oscillations of several lines in the frequency interval 1.64-70mHz using data from the VTT Tenerife and the Dunn Solar Telescope at the National Solar Observatory.

Nowcasting Solar EUV Irradiance With Photospheric Magnetic Fields and the Mg II Index
Abstract A new method to nowcast spectral irradiance in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and far ultraviolet (FUV) bands is presented here, utilizing only solar photospheric magnetograms and the Mg II index (i.e., the core‐to‐wing ratio). The EUV and FUV modeling outlined here is a direct extension of the SIFT (Solar Indices Forecasting Tool) model, based on ...

Height-dependent Slow Magnetoacoustic Wave Amplitude and Energy Flux in Sunspot Atmospheres
Slow magnetoacoustic waves (SMAWs) have been considered a possible candidate for chromospheric heating in the past. This study analyzed 20 active regions observed between 2012 and 2016 to examine the amplitude and energy flux variation of SMAWs in the ...

Probabilistic Short‐Term Solar Driver Forecasting With Neural Network Ensembles
Abstract Space weather indices are used to drive forecasts of thermosphere density, which directly affects objects in low‐Earth orbit (LEO) through atmospheric drag force. A set of proxies and indices (drivers), F10.7, S10.7, M10.7, and Y10.7 are used as inputs by the JB2008, (https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2008‐6438) thermosphere density model.
