The D‐region ionosphere (60
Depth‐averaged eddy buoyancy diffusivities across continental shelves and slopes are investigated using a suite of eddy‐resolving, process‐oriented simulations of prograde frontal currents characterized by isopycnals tilted in the opposite direction to the seafloor, a flow regime commonly found along continental margins under downwelling‐favorable winds or occupied by buoyant boundary currents. The diagnosed cross‐slope eddy diffusivity varies by up to three orders of magnitude, decaying from

Abstract 90 km) plays an important role in long‐range communication and response to solar and space weather; however, it is difficult to directly measure with currently available technology. Very low frequency (VLF) radio remote sensing is one of the more promising approaches, using the efficient reflection of VLF waves from the D‐region. A number of VLF beacons can therefore be turned into diagnostic tools. VLF remote sensing techniques are useful and can provide global coverage, but in practice have been applied to a limited area and often on only a small number of days. In this work, we expand the use of a recently introduced machine learning based approach (Gross & Cohen, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1029/2019JA027135 ) to observe and model the D‐region electron density using VLF transmitting beacons and receivers. We have extended the model to cover nighttime in addition to daytime, and have applied it to track D‐region waveguide parameters, h’ and, over 400 daytimes and 150 nighttimes on up to 21 transmitter‐receiver paths across the continental US. Using an exponential fit, h’ represents the height of the ionosphere and represents the slope of the electron density. Using this data set, we quantify diurnal, daily and seasonal variations of the D‐region ionosphere for both daytime and nighttime D‐region ionosphere. We show that our model identifies expected variations, as well as producing results in line with other previous studies. Additionally, we show that our daytime predictions exhibit a larger autocorrelation at higher time lags than our nighttime predictions, indicating a model with persistence may perform better. -

Abstract The 400 worst‐case severe environments for surface charging detected at Los Alamos National Laboratory satellites during the years of 1990–2005 as binned by the definitions of four criteria developed by Matéo‐Vélez et al. (2018,
https://doi.org/10.1002/2017sw001689 ) and the solar wind and Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) parameters and geomagnetic activity indices are analyzed. The conducted analysis shows that only Auroral Electrojet/Auroral Lower index determines the highest risk for severe environments for surface charging to happen. The presence of a substorm with the southward turning pattern in IMFindicates that the environment can be severe for surface charging to occur but this environment will not depend on whether a substorm was moderate or intense. No clear dependence on IMF is found for risk to a severe environment to occur. Appearances of severe environments for surface charging do not necessarily require high values of Kp (Planetarische Kennziffer) and no storm is needed for such an event to be detected. Among solar wind parameters, solar wind velocityis directly related to the highest risk of severe environments, dependent on the value; and number density is of no importance. Two criteria for severe environment events based on the enhancements of low energy particle fluxes exhibit clearer dependencies on the solar wind and IMF parameters and geomagnetic activity indices with more distinct patterns in their time history. -

Abstract Previously, Tsurutani and Lakhina (2014,
https://doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058825 ) created estimates for a “perfect” interplanetary coronal mass ejection and performed simple calculations for the response of geospace, including. In this study, these estimates are used to drive a coupled magnetohydrodynamic‐ring current‐ionosphere model of geospace to obtain more physically accurate estimates of the geospace response to such an event. The sudden impulse phase is examined and compared to the estimations of Tsurutani and Lakhina (2014, https://doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058825 ). The physics‐based simulation yields similar estimates for Dst rise, magnetopause compression, and equatorialvalues as the previous study. However, results diverge away from the equator. values in excess of 30 nT/s are found as low as magnetic latitude. Under southward interplanetary magnetic field conditions, magnetopause erosion combines with strong region one Birkeland currents to intensify the response. Values obtained here surpass those found in historically recorded events and set the upper threshold of extreme geomagnetically induced current activity at Earth. -

Abstract Estimates of ice volume over the last 120 ka, from marine isotope Stage (MIS) 5d (∼110 ka) through MIS 3 (60–26 ka) are uncertain. Weiss et al. (2022,
https://doi.org/10.1029/2021PA004361 ) offer an innovative new constraint on past sea level using the oxygen isotopes (δ 18O) of planktic (surface and thermocline dwelling) foraminifers to infer the salinity of the Sulu Sea in the Indo‐Pacific Ocean and assess flow through the Karimata Strait (Indonesia) over the last glaciation. Based on the timing of Karimata Strait flooding, the study concludes that local relative sea level in the Karimata Strait was >−86 m during MIS 5c (∼100 ka) and >−12 6 m during MIS 5a (∼80 ka), relative to present. For MIS 3, a maximum possible relative sea level of −16 6 m is determined. Here, these results are placed into the context of current knowledge of last glacial sea‐level change and the implications for climate forcings and feedbacks (e.g., global average surface temperature and greenhouse gases) and ice sheet growth are discussed. By tracing past ocean circulation patterns that are modulated by the depth of shallow straits such as the Karimata Strait, Weiss et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021PA004361 ) provide independent constraints on local sea level, which are essential for improving global mean sea level reconstructions on late Pleistocene glacial‐interglacial cycles. -

Abstract Using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations and combined MHD/test particle simulations, we further explore characteristic ion velocity distributions in the plasma sheet boundary layer. The observations are characterized by earthward beams, which at a slightly later time are accompanied by weaker but faster tailward beams. Two events are presented showing different histories. The first event happens at entry from the lobe into the plasma sheet. Energy‐time dispersion indicates a source region about 25
tailward of the satellite. The second event follows the passage of a dipolarization front closer to Earth. In contrast to earlier MHD simulations, but in better qualitative agreement with the first observation, reconnection in the present simulation was initiated near . Simulated distributions right at the boundary are characterized by a single crescent‐shaped earthward beam, as discussed earlier (Birn, Hesse, et al., 2015, https://doi.org/10.1002/2015JA021573 ). Farther inside, or at a later time, the distributions now also show a simple reflected beam, evolving toward a more ring‐like distribution. The simulations provide insight into the acceleration sites: The innermost edges of the direct and reflected beams consist of ions accelerated in the vicinity of the reconnection site. This supports the validity of estimating the acceleration location based on a time‐of‐flight analysis (after Onsager et al., 1990,https://doi.org/10.1029/GL017i011p01837 ). However, this assumption becomes invalid at later times when the acceleration becomes dominated by the earthward propagating dipolarization electric field, such that earthward and tailward reflected beams are no longer accelerated at the same location and the same time.
