Scientists Probe the Calm After Solar Storms

by Mark Zastrow 21 March 201721 February 2023

In forecasting the effects of solar storms, understanding how they subside—and not just how they arrive—will be crucial.

New research shows how lightning-triggered plasma waves in Earth's magnetosphere trigger processes that can threaten satellites

How Lightning Creates "Killer Electrons" in Earth's Radiation Belts

by Mark Zastrow 14 March 201718 January 2023

New calculations show that lightning-triggered plasma waves in Earth's magnetosphere absorb energy from slow particles and energize electrons to levels that can damage satellites severely.

Researchers track how weather close to Earth’s surface influences the ionosphere.

When Lower-Atmosphere Waves Invade the Upper Atmosphere

Leah Crane by L. Crane 28 February 201719 October 2021

A review of the literature shows that weather nearer Earth's surface could produce up to 35% of the ionosphere's variability.

What Causes GPS Signal Loss on Satellites like Swarm?

Leah Crane by L. Crane 23 September 201627 January 2022

Using data from the European Space Agency's Swarm mission, scientists find that abrupt drops in the ionosphere's electron density may cause low-orbiting satellites to lose contact with GPS satellites
