Force imbalance between Jupiter’s ionosphere and magnetosphere leads to wave generation to release this stress, but the waves also accelerate particles, causing aurora and heating.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Both simulations and observations are used to measure the magnetic reconnection rate in the Earth’s magnetotail, suggesting that the rate is correlated with the intensity of a magnetic substorm.Read More »Mathematical Geophysics

Solar wind drivers affecting the satellite environment have about a one hour predictive horizon, but solar wind speed periodicities and ensemble modeling can extend the forecast interval.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
The interaction of tides and waves generated in the lower atmosphere can cause the mean zonal wind speed in the lower ionosphere to oscillate equivalent to a category 1 hurricane at Earth’s surface.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Pancaking and erosion can explain a lot of the structural change in magnetic flux ropes as they fly evolve during their supersonic flight through the inner solar system.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
New research shows that solar radiation levels are growing 10% faster than previously believed and that the radiation environment in space will worsen with time.Read More »
