This paper reviews Vlasov-based numerical methods used to model plasma in space
physics and astrophysics. Plasma consists of collectively behaving charged particles that …

Abstract Space weather effects arise from the dynamic conditions in the Earth's space
environment driven by processes on the Sun. While some effects are influenced neither by …

The magnetosheath flow may take the form of large amplitude, yet spatially localized,
transient increases in dynamic pressure, known as “magnetosheath jets” or “plasmoids” …

The Earth's magnetopause is an ion‐scale boundary that separates the magnetosphere
from the shocked solar wind. At such boundary, energy‐conversion processes frequently …

We present results from a new hybrid-Vlasov simulation code, Vlasiator, designed for global
magnetospheric simulations. Vlasiator represents ions by a six-dimensional distribution …

The lower-thermosphere–ionosphere (LTI) system consists of the upper atmosphere and the
lower part of the ionosphere and as such comprises a complex system coupled to both the …

GUMICS-4 is a global magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling simulation based on global
MHD magnetosphere and an electrostatic ionosphere. Here we review the development …

This unique, authoritative book introduces and accurately depicts the current state-of-the art
in the field of space storms. Professor Koskinen, renowned expert in the field, takes the basic …

There is a growing concern over possible severe societal consequences related to adverse
space weather impacts on man‐made technological infrastructure. In the last two decades …

We simulated the entire month of January 2005 using the Space Weather Modeling
Framework (SWMF) with observed solar wind data as input. We conducted this simulation …
