The terrestrial ring current is an electric current flowing toroidally around the Earth, centered
at the equatorial plane and at altitudes of∼ 10,000–60,000 km. Changes in this current are …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of dispersive Alfvén waves in space and
laboratory plasmas. We start with linear properties of Alfvén waves and show how the …

This article reviews phenomena of magnetoreception in plants and provides a survey of the
relevant literature over the past 80 years. Plants react in a multitude of ways to geomagnetic …

Ion composition observations from polar-orbiting satellites in the past three decades have
revealed and confirmed the occurrence of a variety of ion outflow processes in the high …

The present 15th volume of the ISSI Space Science Series is devoted to Auroral Plasma
Physics. The aurora is arguably the most intriguing phenomenon in space plasma physics …

Data acquired by the Fast Auroral Snapshot (FAST) Small Explorer during the 24–25
September 1998 geomagnetic storm have been used to determine the controlling …

A review is given of several mechanisms causing outflow at high latitudes of ionospheric
ions to the terrestrial magnetosphere. The upward ion motion along the geomaagnetic field …

Observations of plasma particles and fields by the FAST satellite find evidence of
acceleration of intense upgoing electron beams by quasi‐static parallel electric fields. The …

Earth is one of the inner planets of the Solar System, but–unlike the others–it has an
oxidising atmosphere, relatively stable temperature, and a constant geomagnetic field …

The Juno spacecraft's polar orbits have enabled direct sampling of Jupiter's low‐altitude
auroral field lines. While various data sets have identified unique features over Jupiter's …
