Multi-spacecraft scientific missions for space physics have been flown since the 1960s with early missions such as IMP, VELA, ...

But in the magnetosphere collisions between particles ... through other complicated multistage acceleration processes, the ionosphere, cause an anisotropic distribution of particles and excite ...

The wave carries lightning energy, which enters the ionosphere at low latitudes, to the magnetosphere. The energy is reflected upward by the ionosphere's lower boundary, at about 55 miles altitude ...

"The expansion of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system can lead to atmospheric loss and enhanced interaction with solar radiation or cosmic rays. Also, the expansion results in more drag to the ...

The author of the new research argues that it could settle in the upper part of the ionosphere ... This net would then likely cause the magnetosphere, which typically extends for thousands ...

Cole graduated in 2020 from Boston College with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, having done research in the solar input to ionospheric total electron content and the Earth's ionosphere-magnetosphere ...
