Interhemispheric ionosphere-plasmasphere system shows a high sensitivity to the exospheric neutral hydrogen density: a caution of the global reference atmospheric model hydrogen density

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
This study explores the impact of the exosphere hydrogen (H) density on the ionosphere-plasmasphere system using a model whose key inputs are constrained by ionosphere observations at both ends of the magnetic field line with an L-value of 1.75 in the ...

Comparisons of Differential Code Bias (DCB) Estimates and Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO)-Topside Ionosphere Extraction Based on Two Different Topside Ionosphere Processing Methods

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) differential code bias (DCB) and topside ionosphere vertical electron content (VEC) can be estimated using onboard data from low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites. These satellites provide the potential to make up for

Comparison of analytical functions used to describe topside electron density profiles with satellite data

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2005
Electron density models of the ionosphere use different analytical formulations for the electron density vertical profile in the topside. The present paper compares some single-layer topside analytical descriptions (Chapman, Epstein, modified ...

Estimated plasmasphere electron content and O⁺/H⁺ transition height during the February 2022 geomagnetic storm from Irkutsk IS radar data

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics
We study the topside ionosphere above the NmF2 ionization maximum and the transition region between the ionosphere and the plasmasphere. We analyze the interaction between the topside ionosphere and the plasmasphere during a strong geomagnetic storm in ...

TEC Enhancement due to Energetic Electrons Above Taiwan and the West Pacific

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013
The energetic electrons of the inner radiation belt during a geomagnetic disturbance can penetrate in the forbidden range of drift shells located at the heights of the topside equatorial ionosphere (< 1000 km).

Plasma perturbations HF‐induced in the topside ionosphere [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2016
AbstractThree plasma perturbations induced by SURA HF (high‐frequency) heating have been selected and analyzed in detail with the DEMETER satellite observing data by instruments of Langmuir probe and ion analyzer. Some common features are revealed, such as (1) electron density and electron temperature both increased during the heating period; (2) both ...

Helium in the topside Venus ionosphere [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 1973
The quantity of helium in the Venus atmosphere is estimated from an examination of the measured ionization profiles. The amount of helium necessary to give agreement between the computed and experimental results is approximately 4 x 10 to the 8th power/cucm at 140 km.

Observing the Earth's Plasmasphere and Ionosphere From the Lunar Surface

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We present the analysis of the first lunar‐based observational characterization of the Earth's plasmasphere and ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals tracked from the lunar surface by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE). The Earth‐Moon geometry enables limb sounding of the plasmasphere at altitudes exceeding 3,000

Manifestation of solar activity in the global topside ion composition − a study based on satellite data [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2005
The solar cycle variation of the most important parameters characterizing the ion composition in the topside ionosphere is studied. For this purpose data from the ACTIVE mission (the IK-24 satellite) for the maximum of solar cycle 22 (aver F10.7~200),
