Nicholas Pedatella notes that geomagnetic storms are an important driver of variability in Earth’s ionosphere, and can have significant societal impacts through the ionosphere’s impact on communications and navigation systems (e.g., GPS).
Stan Solomon et al, dicuss a new modeling capability that self-consistently couples physics-based magnetospheric 18 electron precipitation with its impact on the ionosphere, representing a significant improvement over previous models.
BC Low elaborates on the extraordinary sixty years of progress made to space observation of the Sun, solar wind, planets and their magnetospheres. He notes that space platforms complementing ground-based observatories have transformed solar physics.
Alice Lecinski is a Associate Scientist IV at the High Altitude Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Center for Atmospheric Research. She describes herself as mostly a software engineer.
