Impacts of E‐Region Neutral Wind Shear on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles: SAMI3 Simulations Including Metal Ions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The vertical shear of horizontal neutral winds plays an important role in forming dense metallic layers in the E region. Previous studies suggest that metal ion layers may inhibit equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) development by enhancing E‐region Pedersen conductivity.

On the Formation of the E Region Layers at Low Altitudes—Theory

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract An analysis of E region ion layer formation is presented, including the effects of a non‐dipole geomagnetic field and gravity on vertical ion drifts, with a particular focus on E region layers at lower altitudes (ELLAs). For nonzero magnetic declination, meridional winds can have an effect similar to those of zonal winds.

Development and Validation of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model With Thermosphere and Ionosphere Extension (WACCM‐X 2.0)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018
Key developments have been made to the NCAR Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere and ionosphere extension (WACCM‐X). Among them, the most important are the self‐consistent solution of global electrodynamics, and transport of O+ in ...

Drivers of F‐Region Ionosphere Tidal Variability Caused by the Madden Julian Oscillation: Separating E‐Region Dynamo and Field‐Aligned Wind Effects

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), a recurring intraseasonal (30–96 days) disturbance in the troposphere, strongly influences the E‐region and F‐region ionosphere through its modulation of atmospheric tides. Among these, the diurnal eastward wave number 3 (DE3) tide, driven by MJO‐modulated latent heating, carries MJO signals upward into the

Temporal Variability of Saturn's H2 Dayglow and Northern Aurora Observed by Hisaki and Cassini

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) emissions from molecular hydrogen in Saturn's atmosphere consist of bright auroral emission over the poles and disk‐wide airglow. The dayside disk emits substantial intensities (dayglow) previously detected by various instruments.

Investigating the drivers of long-term trends in the upper atmosphere over Rome across four decades

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate
The nature of the long-term changes in the upper atmosphere morphology at mid-latitude remains a subject of debate, particularly regarding whether these changes are purely driven by geomagnetic and solar activities or whether forcing from the lower ...

Ionospheric Vertical Plasma Drifts Over South America: Long‐Term Multi‐Instrument Observations and TIEGCM and WACCM‐X Evaluations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present the first comprehensive multi‐instrument climatological study of quiet‐time equatorial F‐region vertical plasma drifts across South America, a region where the magnetic declination angle varies significantly. Our analysis of well‐established long‐term ground‐based data sets from the Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar spanning 1968 ...

Jupiter's Auroral Ionosphere: Hybrid Monte Carlo, Auroral Spectrum and Conductivity Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a new model of auroral precipitation and associated phenomena at Jupiter, called the Jupiter Auroral Ionosphere Code (JAIC). The hybrid model follows the primary electron population using a Monte Carlo code that runs on a GPU, and computes the contribution of the secondaries using a two‐stream approximation.

The thermosphere at South Pole

, 1998
P(論文)The Earth's thermosphere provides the first layer of atmosphere to filter the sun's optical radiation on its way to the surface. In addition, it absorbs most of the energetic particles swept up from interplanetary space and guided downwards along ...

HIWIND Observation of Daytime Thermospheric Winds Over New Zealand and Comparison With Model Simulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract A balloon borne Fabry Perot interferometer called High altitude Interferometer WIND observation (HIWIND) flew from Wanaka, New Zealand (44.69S, 169.14E) in April 2025 to observe mid‐latitude thermospheric winds in the southern hemisphere for the first time.
