Windy Weather in the Thermosphere

by A. Rodger 20 February 201923 January 2023

The weather in the thermosphere includes winds that buffet spacecraft as they orbit the Earth, but how well can these winds be modeled?

Jupiter’s Stressed Out Magnetosphere Causes Aurora and Heating

by M. Liemohn 2 January 201918 January 2023

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.

Measuring the Magnetic Reconnection Rate in the Magnetotail

by Y. Wang 7 December 201814 October 2022

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.

Cassini Reveals a Missing Link on Saturn’s Rotating Aurora

by Y. Wang 20 November 201816 November 2021

The bright aurorae dancing in the sky are produced by charged particles traveling along the magnetic field lines from tens of planetary radii. By why do aurorae rotate at Saturn but not at Earth?

Energetic Electrons Can Penetrate the Stratosphere

by Viviane Pierrard 17 October 201816 March 2023

Precipitations of electrons with energies greater than 30 kiloelectron volts from the slot region penetrate at low altitude and can contribute to destroy ozone.
