Modes and manifestations of the explosive activity in the Earth's magnetotail, as well as its
onset mechanisms and key pre-onset conditions are reviewed. Two mechanisms for the …

Meso-scale auroral forms, such as poleward boundary intensifications, streamers, omega
bands, beads and giant undulations, are manifestations of dynamic processes in the …

Explosive magnetotail activity has long been understood in the context of its auroral
manifestations. While global models have been used to interpret and understand many …

We investigate how statistical properties of the rate of change R of the surface horizontal
magnetic field in the United Kingdom differ during substorm expansion and recovery phases …

Auroral substorms are often associated with optical ray or bead structures during initial
brightening (substorm auroral onset waves). Occurrence probabilities and properties of …

During geomagnetic substorms, stored magnetic and plasma thermal energies are
explosively converted into plasma kinetic energy. This rapid reconfiguration of Earth's …

The onset of an auroral substorm is generally thought to occur on a quiet, homogeneous
auroral arc. We present a statistical study of independently selected substorm onset arcs …

The Sun's connection with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere is carried out through
the exchange of electromagnetic and mass flux and is regulated by a complex …

Magnetospheric substorms are a complex phenomenon. During the initial stages of a
substorm a variety of important processes occur in near‐Earth space within a span of …

The joint European Space Agency and Chinese Academy of Sciences Solar wind
Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission will explore global dynamics of …
