Magnetic reconnection underlies the physical mechanism of explosive phenomena in the
solar atmosphere and planetary magnetospheres, where plasma is usually collisionless. In …

Within the fully integrated magnetosphere-ionosphere system, many electrodynamic
processes interact with each other. We review recent advances in understanding three …

Using Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms observations
from four tail seasons, we study the three‐dimensional structure of the dipolarization front …

Abstract Anti‐dipolarization fronts (ADFs), characterized by the rapid increase of the
negative magnetic field Bz component, are typically formed at the leading edge of the …

Interactions between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere manifest many
important space weather phenomena. In this paper, magnetosphere‐ionosphere drivers of …

Magnetic holes (MHs), with a scale much greater than ρi (proton gyroradius), have been
widely reported in various regions of space plasmas. On the other hand, kinetic‐size …

Electric currents flowing through near-Earth space (R≤ 12 RE) can support a highly
distorted magnetic field topology, changing particle drift paths and therefore having a …

Electric field penetration is a consequence of solar wind interaction with planetary
magnetosphere and/or ionosphere. For both Earth with intrinsic magnetosphere and …

Magnetospheric substorms represent a major energy release process in Earth's
magnetosphere. Their duration and intensity are coupled to solar wind input, but the precise …

An important question that is being increasingly studied across subdisciplines of
Heliophysics is “how do mesoscale phenomena contribute to the global response of the …
