In this study, we utilize gcPIC simulations to study whistler wave propagation in a dipole magnetic field, and compare the results with ray-tracing simulations. Ray-tracing simulations show that a parallel whistler wave gradually becomes oblique and experiences increasing linear damping during its propagation from the magnetic equator to high latitudes. Particle-in-cell simulations display nearly identical propagation paths and WNAs, but the amplitude evolution shows substantial differences. At lower latitudes, whistler waves will experience extra substantial damping compared with ray-tracing results, which is due to nonlinear Landau and cyclotron resonances. This difference becomes more pronounced when the wave amplitude is larger. Surprisingly, at higher latitudes, whistler waves will experience less damping, attributable to the electron plateau/beam distributions resulting from Landau trapping.

This event provides a great opportunity to investigate the effect of the solar storm on the upper and lower ionospheres. In this study, we investigated the response of the ionosphere to solar flares and geomagnetic storms between 8th and 15th May 2024, using very low frequency radio waves (VLF) collected by our newly built UTM-SID VLF receiver and analyzing the Total Electron Contents (TEC), detrended TEC (dTEC), and Rate Of TEC change Index (ROTI) derived from Global Positioning Satellite System (GNSS) signals across the Malay Archipelago Region. UTM-SID successfully detected 38 out of 114 solar flares that occurred during this period, and the detection depended on the intensity and time of the solar flare. 7 dTEC and 5 ROTI responses were noted, along with a rapid enhancement of vertical TEC (vTEC) of up to 0.5 TECU during severe solar flares. Meanwhile, the geomagnetic storm that occurred on 11–12 May had induced high dTEC and ROTI variations, with dTEC reaching 5 TECU and ROTI of 0.5 TECU/min, suggesting the occurrence of a Travelling Ionospheric Disturbance (TID). Additionally, Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPB) were found to be suppressed on 11 May and a pre-sunrise EPB was noted on 12 May. Background VLF signals are also enhanced during this period.</p>","PeriodicalId":15894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics","volume":"130 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we evaluate the distributions of whistler-mode wave amplitudes and electrons as a function of distance from the magnetopause (MP) on the dayside from 6 to 18 hr in magnetic local time (MLT) within ±18° of magnetic latitude using the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interaction During Substorms measurements from June 2010 to August 2018. Specifically, under different levels of solar wind dynamic pressure and geomagnetic index, we conduct a statistical analysis to examine whistler-mode wave amplitude, as well as anisotropy and phase space density (PSD) of source electrons across 1–20 keV energies, which potentially provide a source of free energy for wave generation. In coordinates relative to the MP, we find that lower-band (0.05–0.5 <i>f</i><sub>ce</sub>) waves occur much closer to the MP than upper-band (0.5–0.8 <i>f</i><sub>ce</sub>) waves, where <i>f</i><sub>ce</sub> is electron cyclotron frequency. Our statistical results reveal that strong waves are associated with high anisotropy and high PSD of source electrons near the equator, indicating a preferred region for local wave generation on the dayside. Over 10–14 hr in MLT, as latitude increases, electron anisotropy decreases, while whistler-mode wave amplitudes increase, suggesting that wave propagation from the equator to higher latitudes, along with amplification along the propagation path, is necessary to explain the observed waves on the dayside.</p>","PeriodicalId":15894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics","volume":"130 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JA033225","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
