Although the steady component of the magnetosheath magnetic field has been reasonably well reproduced, the fluctuating component has been less accounted for despite its significant amplitude. This paper empirically determines the mean characteristics of the ultra-low-frequency magnetic field fluctuations, and constructs a functional form using solar wind parameters. We use 15 years of THEMIS A data for the magnetosheath, and OMNI for the upstream solar wind conditions. Qualitatively, fluctuations are negatively correlated with the IMF cone angle, and positively with the solar wind speed and dynamic pressure. Some fluctuations are correlated with the IMF strength but not all. The level of fluctuations in the IMF is positively correlated with &lt;0.01 Hz fluctuations in the magnetosheath. A higher Mach number is associated with a larger fraction of compressional versus transverse fluctuations in the magnetosheath. Quantitatively, the correlation between magnetosheath fluctuations and individual solar wind parameters is weak, correlation magnitude being &lt;0.5. However, by performing a multiple linear regression fit of the solar wind parameters to magnetosheath fluctuations, a reasonably good prediction can be achieved with correlation magnitude in the range of 0.5–0.7, except for the parallel magnetosheath fluctuations of 0.01–0.1 Hz. Our results are overall consistent with earlier studies, but our quantitative approach further permits forecast of how much the IMF changes inside the magnetosheath which is beneficial for scientific understanding and space weather forecasts.</p>","PeriodicalId":15894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144264655","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}

The complex nature of large-to-meso-scale-wave-structure (LSWS) that results from the two most important determining factors, large-scale pre-reversal electric field (PREF) and Meso-Scale wave electric field, poses a severe obstacle to the short-term forecasting of S4-RSF. The present study aims to investigate the competing role of the two factors by presenting S4-RSF events that occur during the summer months of 2021–2022 over the Equatorial region of Brazil. The scintillation index (S4) and total-electron-content (TEC) from the GNSS network and ionospheric drift measurements from digisonde found more frequent occurrences of severe S4-RSF during December 2021 than in January 2022. The measurements detect LSWS in both months, though December reveals phase propagation of TEC and drift oscillations for longer horizontal distances and altitudes. The strength variability of S4-RSF is understood by conducting the numerical simulation of collisional-interchange instability. In line with the observations, the simulation shows the stronger and faster equatorial plasma bubble formations from the combined action of PREF and phase-coherent mesoscale electric field. Despite the comparatively weak PREF, the stronger S4-RSF activities highlight the role of mesoscale wave electric field in defining the strength of S4-RSF.</p>","PeriodicalId":15894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2025JA033840","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144264656","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}

In Earth's magnetosheath they are mostly found downstream of the quasi-parallel bow shock during steady solar wind and low interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) cone angle conditions, but they have also been observed in the quasi-perpendicular magnetosheath and during different solar wind conditions. In this study we use a 2D simulation run of the global hybrid-Vlasov model Vlasiator to investigate how the interaction between the bow shock and a solar wind rotational discontinuity influences the formation of magnetosheath jets. Separating the jets identified in the simulation based on formation site and time relative to the interaction between the discontinuity and the shock, we conduct a statistical study to find the characteristic properties of the different jet types. We find that jets forming at the quasi-parallel shock are similar to each other regardless of the stage of the shock-discontinuity interaction. Jets forming at the quasi-perpendicular shock after the discontinuity has passed are small and short-lived. The jets forming at the quasi-perpendicular shock as the discontinuity impacts it, on the other hand, merge with each other into a large and long-lived transient density enhancement that propagates deep into the magnetosheath together with the discontinuity, giving it the potential to be more geoeffective than the other types.

Using 1-Hz GPS receiver data, we identified position errors in PPP mode reaching up to 70 m in the Central United States during the storm main phase on May 10. The PPK solution becomes unstable following the arrival of storm and lasted till the recovery phase, coinciding with reported GPS outages of farming equipment. The large position errors were attributed to strong scintillation and carrier phase cycle slips around the equatorward boundary of the ionosphere trough, where large total electron content (TEC) gradients and irregularities were present. In the Southwestern United States, position errors of 10–20 m were associated with the storm-enhanced density and equatorial ionization anomaly. Scintillation and cycle slips in this region were minor, and bending of the GPS signal paths (refractive effect) is suggested to cause the position errors. PPP outages were also associated with sudden changes in the geometric distributions of available GPS satellites used in position calculations. On May 11, energetic particle precipitation during substorms led to abrupt jumps in TEC and scintillation, resulting in rapidly evolving position errors of up to 10 m. These findings highlight the critical role of storm-time plasma transport, precipitation, and irregularity formation in degrading GPS performance.

Currently, ground-based and satellite-based imaging equipment have captured a vast amount of aurora images, and identifying auroral substorm events from these images is crucial for studying solar-terrestrial relations. The westward traveling surge (WTS) is a typical structure during substorm occurrences and is commonly used for auroral substorm identification.

Our analysis shows that, on average, the light (hydrogen and helium) ion fluxes undergo a rapid, transient enhancement, while the heavy (oxygen) ion fluxes exhibit a more gradual, persisting enhancement.

The initial signatures suggest a result of the earthward transport of injected protons, as seen at the explosive growth phase. For events where both electron and proton fluxes increase simultaneously, on the other hand, proton fluxes isotropically increase with no significant <i>φ</i> dependence.

These observations indicate that periodic density structures stem from the azimuthal oscillations of the plume boundary under the drive of the fundamental toroidal mode of ULF waves. ULF waves around the plume boundary exhibit the largest amplitude and out-of-phase polarization, and the polarization is changing with MLT across the plume boundary, demonstrating that field line resonance (FLR) occurred at the plume boundary. These observations are consistent with the theoretically predicted characteristics of 3-D FLR associated with the plamspheric plume.</p>","PeriodicalId":15894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213788","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}
