Assessment of Using Field‐Aligned Currents to Drive the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model: A Case Study for the 2013 St Patrick’s Day Geomagnetic Storm by Qingyu Zhu, Gang Lu, Astrid Maute, Yue Deng, Brian Anderson

“…This may result from inaccurate Joule heating estimations in the FAC‐driven simulation caused by the inconsistency between the FAC and electron precipitation patterns. This study indicates that the FAC‐driven technique could be a useful tool for studying the coupled ionosphere and thermosphere system provided that the FACs and electron precipitation patterns can be accurately specified.…”

The Dependence of Cold and Hot Patches on Local Plasma Transport and Particle Precipitation in Northern Hemisphere Winter by Duan Zhang, Qing‐He Zhang, Y.‐Z. Ma, Kjellmar Oksavik, L. R. Lyons, Zan‐Yang Xing, Marc Hairston, Z.‐X. Deng, J.‐J. Liu

“…(c) enhanced anti‐sunward flow (E × B drift) mainly contributes to cold patch occurrence under Bz < 0, and soft‐electron precipitation contributes to hot patch occurrence both under southward and northward IMF.…”

Stratospheric X‐Rays Detected at Midlatitudes With a Miniaturized Balloon‐Borne Microscintillator‐PiN Diode System by K. L. Aplin, G. J. Marlton, V. Race

“…Data from the NOAA POES spacecraft offer the explanation that the microscintillator detected bremstrahhlung X‐rays from energetic electron precipitation (EEP). EEP events may affect weather and climate through a range of physical mechanisms, and this midlatitude observation, well away from the auroral oval, extends the region over which meteorological effects of EEPs need to be assessed. …”

Long‐Term Variations of Energetic Electrons Scattered by Signals From the North West Cape Transmitter by Jingle Hu, Zheng Xiang, Xin Ma, Yangxizi Liu, Junhu Dong, Deyu Guo, Binbin Ni

“…Abstract Very‐low‐frequency (VLF) signals emitted from ground‐based transmitters for submarine communication can penetrate the ionosphere and leak into the magnetosphere, leading to electron precipitation via wave‐particle interaction and thereby providing a potential means for radiation belt remediation. …”

Multi‐Scale Geomagnetic Forcing Derived From High‐Resolution Observations and Their Impacts on the Upper Atmosphere by Cheng Sheng, Yue Deng, William A. Bristow, Yukitoshi Nishimura, Roderick A. Heelis, Christine Gabrielse

“…Multi‐scale convection forcing increases the regional Joule heating (integrated over the high‐resolution SuperDARN observation domain) by ∼30% on average, which is mostly contributed by the meso‐scale component. Meso‐scale electron precipitation derived from ASI measurements contributes on average about 30% to the total electron energy flux, and its impact on the I‐T system is comparable to the meso‐scale convection forcing estimated from SuperDARN observations. …”
