Abstract This study examines field‐aligned currents (FACs) and polar electrojet (PEJ) characteristics during the extreme May 2024 geomagnetic storms across dawn, dusk, daytime, nighttime in both hemispheres. FACs PEJ intensities were up to 9 times greater than usual, with equatorward reaching −44° Magnetic Latitude. Maximum are larger at dawn dusk Northern Hemisphere but Southern Hemisphere. Dawn duskside correlate best Dst or solar wind dynamic pressure (Pd) On dayside (nightside), most...

Abstract Using 4 years of ionospheric radial current (IRC) from Swarm and ion velocity the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, our work investigates response IRC to subauroral polarization streams (SAPS) during quiet time for first time. Both noontime (magnetic local time, MLT 11–14) inward duskside (MLT 18–19) outward get strengthened in amplitude. The ΔIRC is attributed penetration westward electric field at low‐mid latitudes. It drives poleward Hall currents equatorward field, which...

Abstract The equatorial electrojet is a strong ionospheric current along the dip equator at 110 km. It usually flows eastward and peaks noon. However, it sometimes reverses westward. Using 10 years of horizontal geomagnetic field observations from ground station, this work investigated counter (CEJ) in afternoon Indian longitudes during geomagnetically quiet time, which has substantial occurrence rate 46.7%. A total 41.7% CEJ related to westward electric substorms. intensity significant...

Using Challenging Minisatellite Payload and the Republic of China Satellite-1 observations, response ionospheric radial current (IRC) in F region to enhancement merging electric field (Em) at different magnetic local times (MLT) is investigated. Possible physical mechanisms are discussed terms neutral wind, conductivity, prompt penetration (PPEF). The disturbance IRC (ΔIRC) increases upward (downward) direction daytime (nighttime) within 3 h after Em enhancement. However, zonal...

Abstract The dynamic evolution of the double tongue ionization (TOI) into a single TOI at 400 km altitude during geomagnetic storm on September 7, 2015 was studied using Defense Meteorological Satellite Program observations and Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation model simulations. TOIs occurred in presence increased southward B z weak positive y , while northward turning duskward . In both events, plasma middle latitudes afternoon (prenoon) sector greatly enhanced due...

Abstract Based on 10 years of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program and Challenging Minisatellite Payload coordinated observations, we investigated the local time variation in response strength auroral electrojet (AEJ) with respect to sudden change solar wind inputs, including merging electric field ( E m ), substorm, interplanetary (IP) shock. The daytime (nighttime) AEJ responded several minutes (>30 min) after key enhancement. For substorms IP shocks, at all times showed an...

Abstract The spatial distributions of single‐frequency and dual‐frequency Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the subauroral ionosphere are investigated under varying geomagnetic activities, using high‐resolution magnetic field data from dual Swarm satellites spanning 2015 to 2017. Single‐frequency EMIC predominantly occur dawn sector, whereas exhibit peaks around both dusk. occurrence rate shows a more pronounced increase with increasing activity. As storms evolve, types shift...

In this work, local time variations of the response ionospheric F layer radial current (IRC) to southward and northward IMF turning events at low high solar activity are investigated for first using Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) observations from 2001 2010. The strength disturbed IRC turnings does not show any preference or activity. At activity, increases in upward (downward) direction daytime (nighttime) within 1.5 h after a sudden turning. Conversely, downward (upward) zonal...

Abstract Using Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) observations, responses of ionospheric radial current (IRC) in F‐layer to sawtooth substorms different magnetic local times are investigated. The zonal wind effect alone cannot entirely explain the variability substorm time disturbance IRC. When commence amid stable southward interplanetary field (IMF), it induces an eastward (westward) equatorial electric daytime (nighttime). This equatorward (poleward) Hall at low latitudes,...
