Statistical Analysis of Throat Aurora Using Long Term DMSP/SSUSI Observation Throat aurora is believed to be associated with magnetopause indentations and has direct implications on magnetopause reconnection. In this study, for the first time, we use Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager observations over ∼14 years to characterize the throat aurora occurrence, latitudinal extent, seasonal, and its solar cycle dependence.

Ionosphere and Thermosphere Coupling at Mid- and Subauroral Latitudes This chapter addresses the ionosphere–thermosphere (I/T) coupling phenomena. We define I/T coupling as the dynamical interaction between plasma and neutral particles in the upper atmosphere. This interaction involves the ionosphere response to changes in the thermospheric wind, composition, and temperature, and how the thermosphere dynamics and thermal state are affected by plasma electrodynamics, which may well be under the influence of magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling. It has been the main research focus for decades a ...

Implication of Tidal Forcing Effects on the Zonal Variation of Solstice Equatorial Plasma Bubbles Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) are plasma depletions that can occur in the nighttime ionospheric F region, causing scintillation in satellite navigation and communications signals. Past research has shown that EPB occurrence rates are higher during the equinoxes in most longitude zones. An exception is over the central Pacific and African sectors, where EPB activity has been found to maximize during solstice. Tsunoda et al. (2015) hypothesized that the solstice maxima in these two sectors could be driven by a zonal wavenum ...

Corotation of ring current auroral spots at sub-auroral latitudes We report observations of auroral spots s at sub-auroral latitudes. The auroral spots occurred during storm-recovery phases and corotated with the Earth at a speed either higher (super-rotation) or lower (sub-rotation) than the Earth\textquoterights rotation rate. In the dawn side, the spots have a slightly higher probability of super-rotation than that of the duskside auroral spots. The super- and sub-rotation is likely due to dynamics of the plasmasphere that is controlled by both drag (sub-rotation) and solar wind driv ...

The Re-AURIC is derived from the AURIC algorithm after some old modules are updated.
