Enhancement of equatorial OI(1D) emissions at midnight
A number of recent studies have highlighted observational evidence of midnight brightness of the 630.0 nm nightglow, which is usually related to the midnight temperature maximum (MTM) effect.

The optical emission spectroscopy technique is used to determine the vibrational temperature of the second positive band system, $$ N_{2} (C,\upsilon^{^{\prime}} - B,\upsilon^{^{\prime\prime}}$$ N 2 ( C , υ ′ - B , υ ″ ) in the wavelength range 367.1–380.

On Magnetosheath Jet Kinetic Structure and Plasma Properties
High‐speed plasma jets downstream of Earth's bow shock are high velocity streams associated with a variety of shock and magnetospheric phenomena. In this work, using the Magnetosphere Multiscale mission, we study the properties of a jet found downstream ...

Validating the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) for applications in northern Europe
In this study we investigate the performance of the University of Michigan’s Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) in prediction of ground magnetic perturbations (ΔB) and their rate of change with time (dB/dt), which is directly connected to ...

Behavior of substorm auroral arcs and Pi2 waves: implication for the kinetic ballooning instability [PDF]
We present synoptic observations of the 21 December 2006 substorm event by the THEMIS ground-based All-Sky-Imagers, the ISUAL CCD Imager aboard the FORMOSAT-2 satellite, the geosynchronous satellites and the ground-based magnetometers, and discuss the

Specific interplanetary conditions for CIR-, Sheath-, and ICME-induced geomagnetic storms obtained by double superposed epoch analysis [PDF]
A comparison of specific interplanetary conditions for 798 magnetic storms with Dst <−50 nT during 1976–2000 was made on the basis of the OMNI archive data.

MMS Observation of Two‐Step Electron Acceleration at Earth's Bow Shock
We use the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission to observe a bi‐directional electron acceleration event in the electron foreshock upstream of Earth's quasi‐perpendicular collisionless bow shock.

Downstream high-speed plasma jet generation as a direct consequence of shock reformation
Several mechanisms exist for formation of jets observed in Earth’s magnetosheath. Here, the authors show evidence of high-speed downstream flows generated at the Earth’s bow shock as a direct consequence of shock reformation, which is different than the ...
