Global Observational Comparison of Large‐Scale Traveling Atmospheric and Ionospheric Disturbances During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract During the geomagnetic storm on 10 May 2024, neutral density measurements from 14 Tianmu, Swarm, and GRACE‐FO satellites at ∼510 km altitude, combined with total electron content (TEC) observations, enabled the first global observational comparison of large‐scale traveling atmospheric and ionospheric disturbances (LSTADs/TIDs) via snapshots ...

Improving the estimation of thermospheric neutral density via two-step assimilation of in situ neutral density into a numerical model

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
Neutral thermospheric density is an essential quantity required for precise orbit determination of satellites, collision avoidance of satellites, re-entry prediction of satellites or space debris, and satellite lifetime assessments.

The Drag of Ionosphere Plasma Drifts on Thermospheric Zonal Winds During the 10–12 May 2024 Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The observations from GRACE‐FO and DMSP satellites are utilized to analyze the ion‐neutral interaction near dusk during the 10–12 May 2024 super‐storm. The horizontal plasma convection dragged the anti‐sunward wind in the polar cap and sunward winds around the auroral and subauroral regions during whole storm times.

First Results of a New Inversion Tool for Thermospheric Neutral Mass Density Computations During Severe Geomagnetic Storms

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract In Low Earth Orbit (LEO), atmospheric drag is the dominant source of trajectory prediction error below approximately 700 km altitude, primarily due to inaccuracies in thermospheric density models. This work presents a method for temporally deconvolving Energy Dissipation Rates (EDRs) to produce single‐satellite density estimates, which can be ...

Longitudinal structures in lower thermosphere density [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1999
Thermospheric densities near 200 km from the Satellite Electrostatic Triaxial Accelerometer (SETA) experiment during July and December 1983 are analyzed to reveal two types of longitude structures: (1) the so‐called “longitude/UT” variation which has been noted in higher‐altitude satellite data and incorporated into the mass spectrometer incoherent ...

Nitric Oxide Intensification Associated With STEVE: TIMED/SABER‐REGO Observations and Comparison With GITM Simulation

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) is a nightsky optical phenomenon of great research interest in recent years. STEVE is recognized to be co‐located with a latitudinally narrow channel of fast westward ion drifts, also known as “subauroral ion drifts” (SAID).

Do Migrating Semidiurnal Tidal Winds From the Lower Atmosphere Control Thermospheric Winds?

Geophysical Research Letters
Lower atmospheric tides are important for driving the thermospheric and ionospheric structure. The effects of different lower atmospheric migrating semidiurnal tidal fields of neutral density, temperature, and winds on the thermospheric winds are ...

Gravity Wave Activity in the Stratosphere and Mesosphere During Hurricane Sam

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Multi‐instrument observations of gravity wave (GW) activity during Hurricane Sam (2021) were made using AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) satellite data, ERA5 reanalysis, and TIMED/SABER temperature profiles. Two GW extraction methods, vertical high‐pass filtering and empirical mode decomposition, were applied to quantify wave‐induced ...

The 2022 Starlink Geomagnetic Storms: Global Thermospheric Response to a High‐Latitude Ionospheric Driver

Space Weather
In this study, we present ionospheric observations of field‐aligned currents from AMPERE and the ESA Swarm A satellite, in conjunction with high‐resolution thermospheric density measurements from accelerometers on board Swarm C and GRACE‐FO, for the ...
